SHIT... I'm 45 this year and i just each day, each week, each year as an extension of my story.
I have daugther, me and her are not together but we get on really really well, my girlfriend is awesome - together over 10 years now.
Work is great, and i'm crazy fucking motorbike rider and owner and i've had my issues - Brain surgery, getting asthma at 40 and also discovering i had HP... So i fucking got my shit together and I don't think i've l ever looked this good ever... Got a therapist, dealing with Anxiety which i've had for fucking donkeys it seems... But i'm just getting started!Look up once in a while... Cause when death turns up sometimes you realise that death isn't the one your racing to meet.

Travel and getting out of your element is good, but everyone needs a long term goal for their life don't they?
Humans are pretty simple-minded at the end of the day. I find that when I have some vision for the future I can look forward to -- even if realistically I'll only achieve half of it -- I'm pretty happy. If you can't imagine one, it's natural to feel lost and depressed.

Hmm, not sure if it's midlife crisis just yet. I'm 35. But who knows maybe it doesn't have to be age related always.
Thinking too much and overthinking things can lead to unhappiness.
Today I went for a hike in the mountains. It was really nice, almost no people on the trails. Then to the beach without my phone. Just enjoying the moment. It was a great day.
Hope you Bennn will find your next passion. Cheers

I also believe thinking too much may be very self-defeating. There's no such thing as a good excess. Anything in excess is risky. Think less, do more, enjoy, have friends, have kids, let them grow and take care of you.

"I think I have some sort of midlife crisis too. I dont have kids, me and my gf dont plan to have any"
"I want to grow moss and lichen"
This is the saddest thing I read on the internet in a while.

Go on a trip; physical, mental OR both and get some fresh perspective on things.
"Midlife crisis" to me means uninspired, trapped, etc. and the above will remedy that or at least refresh your thoughts on life, love, mortality and the like.
Godspeed Bennn.

I think I'm not suffering any crisis. I'm 37, too "young" yet, maybe? I enjoy life very much, I don't stress myself too much. My golden rule is just to enjoy life's little things while doing the right things. Fuck stress, fuck standards and have many friends.

to have a crisis is to admit your life is half over.
resist.

Perhaps it’s been mention before, too drunk to find out, but imho really what to know is if they can still be considered to attractive or at least fuckable. Married or single really. Is my dick ready, Pubic hair too long. Too much gray. Need more tats.

Go to a book store and read art book and find more inspiration.

I also find watching videos of artists interviews and watching them work to be inspirational.
But the best thing you can do is force yourself to move around and not sit at your computer.
Even having a little studio can be motivation to get stuff done.

I recently started taking Finasteride for my male pattern baldness and I'm looking for a cheap Miata I can turn into a track car.

Seeing your life as a matrix of weeks is scary, but also motivating.
1. Read this: https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/l…
2. Then chart your own: https://entire.life/
3. For an extra whoa, turn on the time dilation feature.
4. If none of that motivated you, try this on for size: https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/12/t…
