So COVID-19 has given me a lot of time for inward thinking and reflecting. I don't consider myself old yet, but I feel like I've already "peaked" in my life. In my early to late 20's, I was living the life I dreamed of. I had it all - girls, parties, huge social circle, my hobbies were thriving (playing in a punk band, video games, snowboarding, kayaking).
In the past 5 years, I look at what I've done, and it's mostly wage slave related since I moved across the country. I've moved up a lot and am making a salary I never dreamed of in my previous location, and I've got a steady relationship of 5+ years, but I feel way less satisfied with myself and my current situation.
That's what got me thinking about "peaking". Is it truly all downhill from here? Should I just accept that I'm doing ok, all things considered, and resign myself to 2.5 kids, buying a house in a suburb and getting some lame grilling clothes?
For those of you that already got married and live that life - any regrets?
Did you guys already leave behind the life that felt most "you"?
