Tough to answer. My life has kind of been on hold for a decade or so. Been with my girlfriend 17 years, since we were young’uns in our 20s. We’d be on a normal track right now probably, married, have a house, a life together, etc, but unfortunately she was basically poisoned by psychiatrists, and it’s resulted in central nervous system damage and long-term syndrome. It’s tough on me, but it’s absolute hell for her. A woman she interacted with who dealt with the same thing also had cancer before, she went through four rounds of chemotherapy…. and she said she’d rather go through four more rounds of chemo before she went through this syndrome even once, just to give you an idea of how bad it is. I can tell you that I’ve never seen anything like it. She’s lost her life from like 28-40. Fortunately we weren’t planning on kids, but this would’ve squashed that if we were. But just anything you imagine a couple doing, other than sitting on a couch watching TV, she’s mostly incapable, for all of these years. She’s improving finally, but every year I hope it’s the one that she pulls out of it, yet it never is.

My life is otherwise pretty good, but obviously this is a huge chunk of it and I never like to acknowledge it out loud, but it affects the fuck out of me. But I’m just sitting here waiting to get my girl back. The alternative is to leave her, but none of this is her fault, and I don’t want to. It’s just one of those things that you never imagine will be a part of your love story, but sometimes life can throw some real monkey wrenches at you that are way bigger than stress or money problems.

I’ve managed a few good memories along the way, despite all this, and things could always be worse, so as long as I wake up tomorrow, I’ll just keep on truckin’ through the muck, and hope to make another positive memory or two along the way, and then one day, finally, maybe everything can be whole again🙏

Absolutely not, two years ago I was, had the girl of my dreams, good prospects of healing my body and my dream job and because she was an American we had an outlook for a house I could basically outright buy due to a favorable exchange rate and the fact houses are sanely priced over there. Turns out healing was harder than it seemed since I lacked some crucial information, and then lockdown got in the way, so unfortunately I had to let her go when she couldn't handle the long distance anymore.

Now I am almost 30, still trying to rehabilitate my body so I can move on with my life, and single. Career is still going well but I just hope I can finally heal for once. Its the biggest hurdle of my life so far, so I know once I overcome it I can hit the ground running again, go on a lot of dates, find an amazing new girl and from that point on things will be flowing again. But I fear my 30's will be ruined if it turns out its actually chronic.

Yes, I am satisfied for today, to the point that I cannot do more than be satisfied with where I am, regardless of where that is.

That being said, I am not done growing, and will not be done for some time to come. If I'm going to live the 101 years I am aiming to go for, I'll have to learn how to be satisfied every single day. In the end, I will not be able to go back and do more, so not being satisfied would be an eternal punishment for not doing better, when my efforts might have been the "best" I could do at that point in time.

So yes, I am satisfied. I cannot yet be satisfied for tomorrow as I haven't reached that moment yet. I have grown a little bit today, and will do again tomorrow and hopefully get to grow for a very long time to come. So until I'm done, I'm heading for a better tomorrow and as long as I haven't arrived at that point, I am satisfied for today.

I'm satisfied and happy. I wouldn't change a thing.

It took a lot of effort to be here, to feel like that. To have this freedom to make my own decisions and bear consequences.

It took even more effort to make lifetime friendships when chained by autism. But we did it together. We created beautiful bonds between strange people who happened simply to match in this puzzle.

There are still things I want to do, try, and test myself. But if I didn't, it wouldn't be a loss.

No, not at all . Look at how men can be honest and women can’t cause their ego is huge. Im not cause I made bad choices all my life, little to no support and I suffer from a condition that makes things more difficult. Nothing that has to do with dating and romance. But my career path is shit. My health is shit. And I need to change it as soon as possible. I’m gonna do anything in my power to change it. There’s been little improvements but not enough. My health improves.. my career can improve cause I can then move onto a better position. I’m not giving specific details. I’m just simply not in a good place yet. AT ALL 😞

content? yes... and I would think it's been much better than once I thought it could be possible... fortunately  knocking on wood though...

Sour-rose · Answer

it's good for now... but not anywhere near to where I want to be. However... this year has already looked promising. Had an apparent moment where my aunt had a seizure of some kind... but still is alive. So that's enough motivation for me to keep going with my dream

HawkPerception · Answer

Not in the slightest. 30 years old, unemployed, no income, lives with my mom, 3 exes that dumped me, family that looks down on me 24/7.

Trying to get my shit together and start a business, but imposter syndrome is really tough on me and I'm always one foot in, one foot out. I have a ton of dreams and goals, but I fear I might never get to live them out. And I'm afraid I'll never find a girl that likes me for me. Just keeping it real.
