  1. I'm turning 39 in a few weeks. I'm not satisfied with what I have achieved so far. Still loads of things to do. And getting closer and closer to 40, I have a sense of panic that my time is running out. My consolation is that finally, I'm on the right path. I have a job I love and that pays well.  I hope this upward trend continues so I can achieve some of the things I've set out to do. I hope when I turn 40, I can say I'm happy with how my life has turned out

    I had an Atari. I would play whatever is in the 64-in-1 cartridge.  Mostly the battlestar galactica, contra, pacman, skiing(forgot the name).

    Then my uncle bought a family computer for my cousin and we started playing tetris.

    Eventually, mom bought my first desktop when I was in highschool and I can spend long nights playing minesweeper.

    Then, I discovered MMORPG.  First MMORPG bus Pirate King Online. Then moved to Rose Online, Perfect World, etc.  Fast forward years after, I started playing Cabal.

    Im.now a retired "gamer".

  3. I'm the breadwinner. Too much sad story here. 

     

    I've sacrificed too much and get very little in return. It has been close to a decade since my family celebrated my birthday.

    Last year, they acted like it was an ordinary day. So when my colleagues surprised me with a cake and lunch out to celebrate, I cried. I felt so sorry for myself.

    I wanted to do things but everything is on hold. You out your dreams on the shelf so you can help your family fulfill theirs. 

    This pandemic has deprived me of an escape since I can't go out. 10 months of being stuck at home and now I'm seeing a counselor for depression.

    It is sad because my family should have been supporting me achieve my dreams, instead they broke me.

    I will pay taxes soon.

    This also made me sad. I looked at how much I'm paying the government in mandatory contributions and taxes on a month to month basis... It is close to 15-16k/month.  

    And then I realize since I'm middle-class I'm not a priority in any government programs that middle-class taxes helped fund.

    Also, i started treating someone as a friend but that someone doesn't see me as one.
