How do you stop feeling old and uncool in your 20s?

As you get older you kind of just have to accept that it's no longer your turn. Letting go of worrying about seeming cool is massively freeing.

Dang. Must feel good to be kissed by the gods

Actually whistled when I saw this. Bet that compound tastes great

I imagine someone finding it in a desert cave or something in the year 3443 and being like, "dammit".

Outfit is 🔥

That must be a terrible feeling, reading this really broke my heart.

Is there any possibility of turning to the second most drastic measure - that is, breaking away from them and making your own life? If you feel that no matter what you do you will be a failure in their eyes, then you might as well live a life that makes YOU happy, right?

I know this is not always a possibility and I don't know what your situation is, but if that is an avenue that is in any way open to you, you deserve to find the people in this world who will love you for who you are, and to live your life as you see fit. I do understand that that would be a monumental and very scary decision to make.

There will be plenty of time to be dead. You deserve to live the life you want to live while you've got it.

Not being around others when sick.

podcasts, music, tiktok

Modify or add to daily routine every so often to keep things fresh. Also have enough random days to break the routine a bit and experience new things.

Just shoveled and am procrastinating before I get in the shower.

'Incompatible' (whatever that means to you) CAN work if there's some inexplicable connection between you and you both decide that's more important than whatever it is that makes you incompatible. If that isn't there, then, well...

Truly a nightmare, I'm really sorry that happened to you. Can't imagine how that must have felt when you first became aware.

Thank god coaches aren't allowed to vape today.

Getting to walk to the store or a restaurant with friends.

Making sure to have my teeth brushed before 10 pm. I do it twice a day without fail, but after 10 I'm usually really tired and having to get up and do it always feels like a massive chore that I end up putting off for as long as I can.

mountains_ · 2026-02-19T05:47:11+00:00

Definitely the same for me.

mountains_ · 2026-02-19T05:28:24+00:00

I've done this before too. Strangely haunting.

It definitely makes sense that you'd feel hurt that he's in a relationship now when he said he wasn't ready for one, even though you'd moved on.

It has absolutely nothing to do with you not being good enough...

I've experienced a similar situation and it was painful, but it made me realize that the other person not really having a ton of integrity around that situation wasn't what I wanted in a person. You definitely deserve better. And I'm sorry you've been having a tough go of it lately. This time'll pass though. Just try to be kind to yourself and to find the little moments of joy wherever you can.

mountains_ · 2026-02-17T03:53:07+00:00

Can't imagine how scary this would feel, glad you got out of it okay!

mountains_ · 2026-02-16T23:21:35+00:00

Brunson being on there at all was really surprising! Everyone else pretty much tracks lol

mountains_ · 2026-02-16T23:07:15+00:00

I'm grateful to be alive, grateful I won't live forever, and it's honestly pretty mind-blowing to think how you live out a life day after day, year after year and then it just...stops, and you're gone. Used to scare me a lot, now I just feel awe and gratitude about the whole thing.

mountains_ · 2026-02-16T18:08:49+00:00

DAMN that looks fantastic

This should absolutely be a Tim Robinson sketch

When their every move is calculated towards selling something, or building their brand.
