i'm not without ambitions in life, but the idea that i or anyone else is required to validate their existence via a career path needs to go fuck off
― dell, Tuesday, 2 September 2008 14:45 (seventeen years ago)
seems I'm basically sunny in a lot of ways.
"career" concepts are kind of silly to me, and in the last couple of years I've gotten much more comfortable with the idea that this is it, that I should enjoy what I've got and not keep thinking that someday I'm going to do something awesome and magical and everything will be figured out for me. I'm much more able to enjoy all of the good things that I have going on and not stressing what could have been / what I should have done.
though I still would love someone to drop lottery money on me so I didn't have to do anything at all and therefore could do everything I want.

A career is what happens to make you money while you were making other plans.
I only had a career by accident. I didn't go pursuing it. It just came and found me.

wow, that's great!
― dell, Tuesday, 2 September 2008 15:02 (seventeen years ago)
Sunny re: dreams, LOL.
I knew I had a career when I realized I'd been doing the same thing for 12 years, kept progressing, in general enjoyed it and made a lot of money at it.
However, having a career and having your career be your life are two different things.

My career took off just after I hit 30. The past couple of years have been a rollercoaster. And I still have enough spare time to indulge in the other things I achieved after turning 30.

Still in my 30s.

Quite enjoy being in my 30s. All the decent bits of being in my 20s but perhaps not as emotionally intense.
― Alexandre Dumbass (dog latin), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 16:47 (fourteen years ago)
I've heard that from a lot of people. Almost halfway through my 30s and still waiting for that to happen.

There are certain things I'm not feeling so comfortable with these days though. I was invited to go to a hippie-ish club/rave night/thing in London the other day for a younger mate's birthday, but got ill instead and kinda felt relieved I didn't have to go. My 24-y/o hippie raving younger self woulda been all over that shit.

Thirties are awesome, but its definitely way more intense than my twenties were. In a good way.
― homosexual II, Tuesday, 17 September 2013 00:52 (twelve years ago)
so far my 30s have been about diminishing possibilities and the reality of crushing financial burden and lack of mobility settling in even as i try to ignore it with less and less success. on the plus side i love somebody.
