You will figure things out. It is about balancing things. Hedonism isnt the problem, being carefree isnt the problem....but lack of balance and moderation might be. Your mileage may vary.

PS: Stego and I have enjoyed you and Grant's company immensely. We have been out of contact for a bit while we reorder things here.

I wish I had gotten to see more of you too.
We will soon remedy that, pal.

You guys are still fantastic people.

Life is a thrilling ride. It's pretty darn scary in places, but I think you'll be able to get through it on your own strength and with help from your close friends.

Ive been living a life of hedonism and to an extent it has to stop. it wont stop all at once, it wont be sudden, but I need to get in better control of my self. it means working more. it means relying on others for strength LESS.

Same fucking problem and I'm going through it right now. I made the resolution to quit back on Jan1st. I let go a little at the con but feel much more controlled over all, even if just making the resolution and working to stick with it.

I wish we lived closer to each other. We could probably provide a great support system as I don't know of anyone else real life that has this same profound feeling. It makes me feel good to read that.

Heya, you are LIVING. You are not happy, but are you sure it is for the reasons you think? I know that I am "Mr Serious" far too much. I don't relax. My blood pressure is through the roof, I work all the time, I don;t get enough hedonism. I envy you in many many ways. In my eyes, you are free. You have a lot more freedom than I do , at least, and I long for the days when I had that kind of freedom. I get little tastes of it at furry cons, and when I drive to see you once every year or two for a long weekend. But the rest of my life is spent living in the "gilded cage" of adult confirmity to jobs, career, house payments, and responsibility.

PLEASE do not rush to get int your own gilded cage. Take it from me. Living in the cage is not living at all.
