False tbh. When you die you have no more opportunities to take on. Trust me I was in this boat just a year ago. I didn't have my license, wasn't in school, and wasn't working either. I was suspended from my last college because of a loud and disruptive mental breakdown in my dormitory building. I was so lonely bc all my friends were doing awesome stuff, in school, getting their licenses, all that. and too busy to hang out. Not that it mattered bc I was too depressed to want to go out much anyway and all I did was sleep and watch tv all day. My mother shamed me constantly because she had so many expectations and I just wasn't living up to them at the time. I was 20, and had this exact same mindset. I even ended up in the hospital for a couple weeks because I actually acted on that mindset.
When I got out, I started trying to change my life around.
In under a year I got my license, started working a part-time job with short but crazy hours and am now a full-time student (tuition with the help of my mother and reimbursement from the company I work for). I'm entering my third year next Fall.
Life is full of ups and downs. Just because you aren't taking life on at the same pace as other people or missed more opportunities doesn't mean you need to keep missing out on them!
The average human life span is currently 79 years, and you're still only 21 (sorry I peeped your profile, I am too)
That's a lot of time to get well and make it somewhere you can be happy in in life. =)
This is a really nice post, and such a wonderfully positive outlook to have. Definitely resonated with me a bit when I read it too so thanks for sharing your experiences so eloquently. Glad to hear you're doing better, and to anyone else it may involve here; take care of yourself.
