Is life over after age 19?

[Anonymous]

It's over

It's over

It's not over

It's something else

[DJB72]

I'm almost 51. In the almost 32 years since I was 19 I have:

• Fallen in love. Three times.
• Gotten married
• Become a father
• Learned to drive
• Survived a cytokine storm that killed 430 of my doctor's 460 ICU patients in 2020
• Lost my right leg below the knee
• Earned a Business Management degree
• Trained as a Counsellor and Life Coach
• Emigrated. Three times.
• Buried more family and friends than I can count

Over? At 19 you haven't finished the hardwiring of your frontal lobes. That's why some countries set alcohol consumption at 21 minimum. Your brain isn't developed sufficiently to handle it.


You have no clue what adult life is about. The joys and tragedies that make it worth living and sharing with someone.


Too many children think "influencer" is real and you can pay the bills forever by just fucking on OF. But next month there's going to be a younger version of you doing things you weren't prepared to and you're already a dried up husk who no decent guy/girl wants because - let's face it - nobody actually wants to marry a whore/man-whore. So by 30 you're cynical and bitter and think the world owes you something.


It doesn't. And it's sucked you dry because you were arrogant enough to believe your life was "over" at 19.


If you're not terminally ill, it's not over.


Even if you are it's not over.

That was 48 years ago for me. I am no longer that youthful, energetic, motivated young man who wants to set the world on fire. I am also no longer that foolish, naive, introverted, unconfident, awkward young man who embarrassed himself many times though social ineptness. I've had many wonderful experienced in those 48 years and I really would not go back to being 19 again. . . unless I could take the 48 years of experience with me. You have many days ahead of you, days in which YOU will be in charge of your life and, if you make the right decisions, you can fill those days wth joy!

Are you up for the challenge?

[LazerBean]

Wow, I don't know why so many people are upset by what you said.

[OlderAndWiser]

@LazerBean I think one user who got offended by somethng I said has five accounts so tey can "blast" me. How pathetic that they would think I care.

[LazerBean]

It's sad how likely you're right about that.

[Sour-rose]

:)... so anyways, i had the hotel boss callin' me after I finally fell asleep in their bed and he was like "cheinoutorstai" and I was like... da faq are you sayin'? "Checking out or staying?" I told him i know what time check out is and he can go fk himself. Proceeded to get dressed say bye to the cats of the hotel and had a nice breakfast time at a mcdonalds. Hard workin' bunch over there, honestly. :D

[Summeroflove]

No it’s just beginning. Though it’s hard to grieve your upbringing

[AviatorTom]

19 is just the beginning of the journey... enjoy it!

Your username is appropriate for your question.

It depends. There are a lot of people whose life peaked in high school. They might have been a football player or cheerleader and never went to college and life just went downhill from there. For them I guess life did end at 19.

There are many who were just getting started at 19 and beyond. I have lived a good life so far but I am far from finished. I an starting a new job and looking forward to the next phase of my life.

For the high school football stars, cheerleaders and cool kids, entering the real world must suck. For the scrawny kid who got picked on his whole childhood and had a miserable family life, 19 was when I started enjoying life!

[douride2]

Mine was almost over at 15. I try to enjoy every day to it's fullest these days.

[Rockstarrrrr]

Yes... When you're an adult all the fun is gone and you're dead inside...

[LiamJHayden]

I do not believe that I have been walking around as a zombie for the past 8.5 years.

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Only if you die, either voluntarily or not, does life end

[Lyndsielee666]

It’s downhill for sure

[FinalFantasyBro]

Bro you have your whole life ahead of you.

[beebella]

Your life begins when you turn 20.

[Ninania]

Only if you end it, though I wouldn't recommend.

[LazerBean]

Only for people who peaked in highschool.

[Lowiu]

No for me it has gone steep uphill after 19

[artsy_dragon]

Life is never over 😂

[standardguy]

Well when you die life is over. There is no immortal soul like the eastern religions believe.

[artsy_dragon]

There is but I don't wamt to get into a religious debate rn

[Razp_Sorbet]

Barely beginning

[Fuentes]

[CT_CD]

[Teriyaki70]
