The family/marriage FOMO bug is definitely a thing for sure. I think that's one venue I'll try to explore a bit more. How do you keep such positive outlook at the next decade?
I find it difficult to put this in a precise statement.
At the same time, for me, kids and a partner who wouldn’t take my BS, where the push for me to get my stuff together. Otherwise I might have been one of those cardiacs arrest cases due to drug overuse.
That’s why I’m happily living with a family.
So, after getting sober at the end of my twenties, cleaning up things in my thirties (getting stable employment as a self taught, career changing web dev) and stopping to be a product of circumstances (thanks therapy) and my kids being old enough to have deeper conversations with (they are in the middle of their school age) I am now looking forward to actively design and realize the life I am living.
