    My brother's house once contained two adolescent girls and wife going through menopause - he referred to it as The Perfect Storm.
    Why must I feel like that, why must I chase the cat?

    Between the phone bill and air conditioning bill, he musta just been scraping by.

    I think Old Larry went thru that, poor guy.

    Interesting thread. You all are a resilient bunch. I'm 30 and in some respects, I'm over it. I have a decent job that keeps me modestly engaged and allows me to live comfortably, if not extravagantly; I have a pretty respectable amount socked away for retirement given my age, and (knock on wood) I generally have my health/physical well being in good order, but that's about it. I've always been what could charitably be described as astutely pessimistic, but I've crossed the line into being awfully negative an awful lot of the time. Not a whole lot excites me about getting out of bed each morning.

    I think part of it for me is that I'm over living a selfish existence. I spent the better part of the last decade doing what I wanted, when I wanted, and on my terms. If you didn't like it, don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Needless to say, that gave me a lot of time to pursue things that interested me, albeit on my own. As I gain a (modest) amount of perspective with time, I see how ultimately, the rewards for pursuing a self-centered existence are fleeting and somewhat hollow. I have some confidence that I can get to the point where life feels fulfilling instead of like going through the motions. Sometimes the reward lies more in the struggle than the achievement of the goal.

    Adolescence seems early for menopause?

    Maybe for you that is the case. Most of us are just not that deep. Glademaster has the one thing no amount of $$$ can buy and that is time. And even that is not guaranteed.

    Hmmmmmmmmm, you're in the greater Seattle area right? At the risk of sounding like I think CBD is a cure-all which I don't, if your job allows you might try a Craft Elixir CBD gummie once a day for 10 days (package contains 10) and see how you feel. You might be surprised at the positive upticks.

    Make sure you get the CBD gummies and not the THC and check the batch analysis sticker on the package. I've purchase the Pineapple and Berry which both have very low THC (about a 10:1 ratio) but once I bought the Cherry and it was 1:1 which def. gave me a hazy kinda buzz. I was still very functional but would drift off into thought sometimes and felt more laid back.

    I lived in the basement apartment of a house with momos upstairs. They were the squarest, whitest people I had ever met. They were so white they were almost transparent. They gave all of their money to the church so they could live in this shitty rental with heathens below. I guess god was testing them.

    Was going to post something similar.

    Not that I felt exactly unfulfilled before, but having a kid brought such clarity to the value of devoted teaching, love, and sacrifice... and has deepened the earthly experience more than I could have ever expected.

    But I still wish for time.

    I've told this story before, but it never gets old. Several years ago we had dinner with AC's very Mormon brother and his wife. The had just returned from a Caribbean cruise and we were talking about their trip. At some point we asked what their favorite island was, to which her brother responded "Puerto Rico, because it's basically America and you can eat at Chili's and Baskins Robbins and stuff."

    Where is the sacrifice
    And tell me where where is the faith
