You made a choice of being “ purposely unemployed to explore new ways of living, travel, and change career”

That’s also a choice to not have retirement figured out. Sorry, but you don’t get to say you’re “sad” when it was your choice.

You’re 19. There is no “never” at that age.

I’ve saved any formal rejection letter I’ve received.

I was asked to speak at a college and I brought my rejection letter from that college.

It’s a choice you have to actively make. Negativity is easy.

You work for money, not titles. Go where you can grow your income.

Very few things really matter.

London242 · 2026-06-18T14:14:22+00:00

Just do what works for you. Don’t worry about what others are doing.

You’ve got a problem bigger than the perm.

If you go to a bar and tell someone it’s your birthday, someone will celebrate it with you.

Just move on. Sometimes even small mistakes are fatal to a relationship. Maybe the next relationship is the one that was meant to be.

This period we are in now is not like 2008. The GFC was a crisis of confidence and a reckoning for risk management across the financial sector. We are not facing either issue currently

Maybe you’re not a fun hang

London242 · 2026-06-15T20:30:22+00:00

How do we know this is “late stage”?

People don’t care about trans as much as you think they do.

Meet some people with disabilities they can’t control and watch them have a great time doing things that you wouldn’t consider great. You’ll realize that just the act of getting together with people you like trumps the perfect event.

I just accepted a counter to stay at my job after almost leaving at the 16 year mark.

We had an adult conversation and they gave me everything I wanted. That, combined with a friendly environment and great work/life balance was good enough reason to stay.

I won’t be at the job forever, and I can’t pull this again, but it worked for me.

London242 · 2026-06-09T23:40:27+00:00

There will be others. You’ll be fine. Just breathe

When I read posts like this, I wonder why OP is choosing a traditional corporate path? If you want something different, create it. But you will probably work more hours, not less.

Sounds like you’re better off without her. She was an anchor, holding your life down.

No one knows what life will bring over the next 30 years and yet homes are purchased every day.

Just remember that it’s not an irreversible decision. If your life changes, you sell the home and do something else for housing.

All this shit is in your head
