[FilterFunk]

Good call. Duh! My modeling career began and ended in just a few hours.

I didn't mean to kill your dream!

This thread almost makes me cry and I'm 2 months away from 30.

Why?

 

[Gaolee]

I'm about 24 years away from 30. Gosh.

Why?

I don't know, I feel like I'm getting old and missing out on life. Seeing old things gets to me.

My best friend is getting married 5 days from now, with him gone I'll be lonlier and it feels like the idea of having my own family is getting further and further away with each passing day.


Am I having a very early mid life crysis or what?

A little off topic, but fwiw...

I was a complete mess at 23, and just started college (with 1 class, at the age of 25). Didn't have any real success with music until I was well into my 40s, and then got to tour other countries (playing music I loved while headlining), and do things the entire world told me were impossible for someone my age. I got married (1st and only time) at 50. And I'm very much looking forward to what the future has in store for me, musically and whatever. Trust me when I tell you I didn't always think or feel this way, also. The simplest way I could put it, is that it came down to deciding how I wanted to continue to look at things. I could see things as though I'm getting older, weaker, losing opportunities, etc... or I could know that I'm getting wiser, more experiences, and stronger every day (I also decided at age 40 that I was going to get into the best physical shape of my life, and I've continued with that attitude).

Hope I'm not coming off as being douchey here , not my intent, but just wanna put it out there that the best times of your life may very well be yet to come for you. If you believe that. If you believe it's over, you're getting old, etc... well, then that's exactly what you're going to get.

And I'll step down from the soapbox after this one little thing. Don't know much about Istanbul, so I don't know if this story will translate well, but I'll tell it anyhow. I read it in a book by Norman Vincent Peale a long time ago, The Power of Positive Thinking (pretty sure it was that book, may have been one his later one's though).

There once was a colonel, who was forced into retirement on his 65th birthday. He didn't want to retire, and supposedly this depressed him greatly. As the story was related, when he received his first retirement check, he went and sat under a tree contemplating the rest of his life. He knew he had to do something other than just waste it away. An idea came to him. He remembered his grandmother's recipe for chicken, that everyone loved. He decided he wanted to sell that chicken. At 65 he opened the first Kentucky Fried Chicken. That man's name was Colonel Sanders.

We've got lots of time left for awesome things to happen in our lives. And 30 yrs old is a baby , to me, anyhow.

I could hug you right now, in a very manly fashion that is.

Thank you for taking time to write this Joe, I'll save this for the rest if my life just in case I get the blues again for such a reason.

Which direction?

Backwards. I'm actually very precocious for my tender age.
