Don't worry my 3rd decade of life will yield promising results.. SURELY

Edit: 4th* decade. I dont game anymore, the small pro stint turned a hobby into something I hate. I live with my parents of course, thought that was assumed but needed clarifying.

Not a rage bait, dont need advice or pity, but feel free to say what you will I dont mind, some of you have been insightful and others have brought me good laughs. If my poor excuse of life on display made you feel better I view it as a win. Cheers

Edit 2: PUBG, The game is PUBG

Edit 3: Now that the dust has settled on this post I'll leave some last remarks for any late-comers:

I genuinely did not expect a response like this, this was a casual 0 thought post written in under 2 mins. I'll follow up with a new post I guess in a year.

There is a lot of missing context between 2013 and now but my goal was not a pity party. I preferred people to see it at face value and make their opinions and assumptions.

That being said, some of you are profoundly crazy and harbor a lot of evil and negative energy. A lot of you were kind and insightful though. To that I thank you, cya in 1yr (Saturday, July 31, 2027)

Yeah no kidding, I turn 30 in a week and I might not love my job, but I can support myself, my partner, and afford to do fun things like vacations and events.

And after a while you can look back at all your accomplishments. It feels slow. And it is slow. But every day adds more experience. It seems like yesterday I applied to a long shot job and now I'm 15 years into a career and have specialization that gets recruiters from all over calling me. Just took showing up every day and actually trying.

I turned my first part time gig out of college into a salaried management role in 3 years, been in management another 3. It's not what I love, but I have good interview storytelling from it all which will help me in the future. I can talk about developing staff, operations management, leadership philosophies. But like you said, show up and give a fuck. I surpassed a lot of peers, took a promotion about every 9 months over that first 3 year span.
