Just a reminder Just a reminder life isn't all that serious- have a little fun and laugh at things even if you find it ridiculous. I used to take life pretty seriously in my adolescent and young adult years thinking about how everything had to be aligned with this perfect image I had in my head.. turns out the older I get there the more I realize there isn't some formula that's supposed to bring you the happiness you think you deserve. Work on yourself and do things because it's what you want to do and it betters you as a human being if you do this things will always come together in the end naturally I wish I had someone who could've told me this without the pretentiousness or patronizing behavior when I was younger. Happy new year all.

Where do I begin if I want to play Maple again? So I haven't touched MapleStory since like Ludi Carnival PQ was a thing and I think last time I played, Pirate was the newest class. Where do I begin if I want to casually play this game again just for old time's sake? I finally have free time again this fall because I just have my 9-5 job and nothing other than that. I've tried looking up guides and stuff but everything seems outdated. What's reboot? What world do I choose? etc.

Feelings of unfulfillment Everything in my life is going well, presumably (got my college degree, working at a comfy desk job making decent money), but what's this feeling of emptiness and unfulfillment? When I was younger, a simple ride in the car with my father listening to classic British rock was bliss but now I'm deadpan even when a close friend has a huge bachelor party with an open bar and is expected to be a fun night. What do I need to do to get that sense of fulfillment I had when I was a kid? Is this just a rite of passage of getting older? If these feelings are exacerbated the older I get, I don't know how anyone can ever have birthday parties commemorating another year closer to the grave. Everything seems pedestrian. Going out

Having life figured out When I was 14, I thought I had life figured out. Then it wasn't figured out so I waited until I was 18 and then thought finally I had it figured out. Age 22 hit and I graduated college and thought I had this life thing finally all figured out, had a girlfriend, had a job, people thought I was cool for driving a nice car; life was complicated but simple. The older I get, the more I realize everyone is constantly trying to figure this life thing out and everyone is going through the same stuff- constantly trying pursue whatever they believed was going to make them happy. I always thought I'd be happy once I got X and Y but the happiness I expected to receive from X and Y was underwhelming and wanted more.
