@lazydatebase4424 This country's been great to me and my family. I feel like what we exchanged in familial relations we made up for with financial opportunity, which really could liberate a person from the confines of subservience to any government or tax farm if learned well and applied until success. I wouldn't entirely blame my situation on either internal or external circumstance, but rather a mixture of both where slack and luck decrease with time. It is clear that adversity and presence of difficulty increase proportionately with the squandering of time or opportunity. Procrastination and postponing plans or ideas are not a luxury age affords.
America is still a land of opportunity for those with the will and drive to work through adversity and press on, but chances and luck either lessen or remain stagnant while time and challenge continue steadily on. It's not a rigid philosophy, but I think 20's is the stretching and warming up and practice and trial and error phase for the 30's, which should be peak physical work performance and other avenues, output time, while the 40's could be the plateau of mental or physical health before the possible coming stagnation of such effectiveness in the 50's and beyond. The mid ranges of the decades are more of transitory phases on a spectrum that allow for smooth transition.
The experience of life is not that simple however, as there are many fronts on which gains/losses can be measured, but one thing is sure, it's all a trade off whether you're talking about the tangible or internal worlds, youth and wisdom, and the ever prevalent time/money conundrums. In the tangible world, finding that sweet balance is key if you aren't comfortable throwing all your chips on one side. Otherwise, freeing oneself from the financial matrix and forging a path to being a willing and participatory member in the money matrix, rather than depending on it and being confined by it, helps. From 20-25 you should be building foundations for the 25-30 range where you could build structure and support beams for the rapid growth and development you will be sufficiently prepared to undertake in your 30's.

wholly shit @lazydatebase4424 . that's a fucking insane reality! that's what i was trying to say by internal and external circumstances. yours seem to be mostly negative external extenuating circumstances, while i believe mine were mostly internal but also effected by external circumstances that caused the internal circumstances and a lot of flawed or otherwise not constructive habits or lack of action due to external extenuating circumstance.
as for future plans, they don't have to all revolve around business and professional ventures, they could be in developing any talents, crafts, or hobbies, even something as simple as my poor friend deciding that he wanted to stand on his hands. it took him years but he did it, and got involved with lifting and training extensively. others chose playing music, or writing. it really doesn't matter what it is, but a 5-10 year projection on learning piano or violin is pretty promising for any 20 year old. by the time your 30 or 40, you could be the master of a craft with any talent or will or hardwork. as if life wasn't already hard enough huh!? oops, i accidentally got on my vicarious mentor mindset again, sorry. either way, your life and experience is already rad enough as a great story to tell any kids or grandkids if it turns out well. if you even see that as a possibility.

@lazydatebase4424 "Wait until the end of this war, when thousand of stories will emerge." I know this is not what any occupied nation or people want to hear, but I think this conflict might actually be global moreso than a conflict between 2 nations. It's west vs east. I'm gonna post a link to a convo I had with some Russians under "Renata Jim" comment: "Many cities in Russia are now developing rapidly. I recently came from a friend who lives in the north of Russia, and this year two hospitals have been built in her city, roads are being repaired, several cultural objects have appeared, and microdistricts with very beautiful buildings are being built on both sides of the city. For 4 years, until I visited her, the city has changed beyond recognition and has become much bigger. it's nice to see how things are changing for the better " where a guy named Сергей Карташков said "But, I think, it is irreversible, and can be corrected only after the near future era of terrible upheavals (such as the Third World War), then yes, if we all remain alive."

@lazydatebase4424 city vs rural life is no easy solution. suburbs are great places to raise kids and big cities are often flooded with opportunities and jobs and homeless and crime that make it impossible to walk anywhere safely at night, especially for kids, females, and smaller men. many people prefer to work in cities but live in suburbs where they drive down the street to go to the corner market. as poverty rises, so does crime. i've been robbed and mugged and learned to be paranoid for my own safety and it payed off more than once, i.e., carrying weapons, scanning my surroundings, assuming the worst, walking on alternating sides of the street at night with certain car traffic, etc. when i lived in la county, i had my car broken into and they stole my radio and lost a gold earring as a tip for me. i called the police to file a report, they came hours later and left a card while i was at work. it was a waste of time to even try to do anything about it as they probably have 100's of calls like that and focus on more immediate and dangerous violent/victim present crime. top is scraping off the middle, so the middle scrapes of the bottom, while the bottom expands outwardly. where there were a handful of petty crimes before, now there are twice as much and people are siphoning gas from cars, robbing others indiscriminately, and brazenly burglarizing in broad day.

China, Taiwan, Iraq, Russia, Syria, the Korea's, Israel, Iran, the U.S., all buzzing with daily headlines about tension or this or that air space or whatnot. And these are only the names of countries I've seen in recent vids and stories on YT. Is it all theater? I don't know. Cuz if not I don't think there's a single nation in this world that is unaffected by the reason behind those air raids you were/are hearing. No country is an island anymore, this is officially global, war. Worldwide, war. World war. Crazy fucking times.
