Can I turn my life around at 27?

[conics]

I’ve ldar’d for the past 8 years

Have not improved At all

Is it not too late?

I feel like sht cuz nothing even motivates me now

[dizzin9]

27? Nah it's over for you

[realiti]

Hop on TRT. Not even joking.

[imbored21]

get on Nardil buddy. anything is possible

[Kaliconic]

Obviously you aren't going to ever get the years you lost back again. Some paths may be permanently closed to you.

However, you are going to be stuck with yourself for another sixty years. It would be sensible to make the most of yourself you can. It certainly can't hurt to try.

[multiplemiggs]

Stretch ur penor

[xeron]

It’s literally over, sorry boyo

[Beast92]

Cant happen man, im sorry for u

26 is the cut off to change ur life around

[Tyler and Narrator stop outside a convenience store at night. Tyler takes out a gun and walks into the store to do their homework assignment of a "human sacrifice", while Narrator protests. Tyler forces the clerk out the back exit at gun point.]

Voice-over:
On a long enough timeline the survival rate for everybody drops to zero.

Narrator:
Stop! What are we doing? Come on! God!

Tyler Durden:
Hands behind your back. Give me your wallet.

[The clerk, now kneeling, hands him his wallet.]

Tyler Durden:
Raymond K. Hessel. 1320 South East spanning apartment A. Small cramped basement apartment, Raymond?

Raymond K. Hessel:
How did you know?

Tyler Durden:
'Cause they give ****ty basement apartments letters instead of numbers. Raymond, you are going to die.

[Raymond begins to cry. Tyler examines content of the wallet.]

Tyler Durden:
Is that your mom and dad? Mom and Dad are going to have to call up kindly Doctor So-and-so. Pick up your dental records. Wanna know why? Because there's gonna be nothing left of your face.

Narrator:
Oh come on, come on.

Tyler Durden:
An expired community college student ID. What did you study, Raymond?

Raymond K. Hessel:
S-stuff.

Tyler Durden:
Stuff? Were the mid-terms hard? I asked you what you studied!

Raymond K. Hessel:
Biology mostly.

Tyler Durden:
Why?

Raymond K. Hessel:
I don't know.

Tyler Durden:
What did you wanna be, Raymond K. Hessel? The question, Raymond! Was "What did you want to be"?!

Narrator:
Answer him, Raymond! Jesus!

Raymond K. Hessel:
Veterinarian, veterinarian.

Tyler Durden:
Animals.

Raymond K. Hessel:
Yeah animals and stuff.

Tyler Durden:
And stuff, yeah I got that. That means you have to get more schooling.

Raymond K. Hessel:
Too much school.

Tyler Durden:
Would you rather be dead? Would you rather die? Here, on your knees in the back of a convenience store?

Raymond K. Hessel:
No, please no!

[Tyler takes his gun down, takes out Raymond's driver's license throwing the wallet in front of Raymond.]

Tyler Durden:
I'm keeping your license. I'm gonna check in on you. I know where you live. If you're not on your way to becoming a veterinarian in six weeks, you will be dead. Now run on home.

[Raymond gets up and runs into the night.]

Tyler Durden:
Run Forrest, run!

Narrator:
I feel ill.

Tyler Durden:
Imagine how he feels.

Narrator:
Come on, this isn't funny! That wasn't funny. What the **** was the point of that?!

Tyler Durden:
Tomorrow will be the most beautiful day of Raymond K. Hessel's life. His breakfast will taste better than any meal you and I have ever tasted.

Voice-over:
You had to give it to him. He had a plan. And it started to make sense in a Tyler sort of way. No fear, no distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide.

[Tyler throws gun to Narrator who opens the cylinder to find no bullets inside.]

Join the military. You can earn a suboptimal job there, mogmaxxx. Cope with some kind of thing like religion, a social dedication, leadership

Connect to the recruiter literally within the next 13 hours. You have 13 hours to sort yourself out in deciding what you think about the military recruitment. Take 2 days extra, if you must.

People have been there before. It's cope time. TRT, some kind of b.s. like religion, trying to build male status to marry a decent class of woman, if you want this. Literally the correct answer. Stay away from crime. Go for the legit men you can find, and cope with social stuff like religion, marrying into the right political direction, and did I mention the medicine that will turn you into a superhuman, motivationally, intellectually and physically?

Sooner the better.

[goodwallaby]

yes.

[ErnieMccracken]

At least you had a prime!

[SleepWithFan89]

I was a heroin and meth addict for nearly all my 20s got clean at age 28

I’m doing pretty good now at age 31

[yieldtonothing]

phil leotardo did 20 fuking years in the can and made boss even after it was clear that doc santoro was gonna take the seat.

anything is possible, op.

stop and smell the cognac

[phaginator]

Check your hormones OP.

[Dan916]

I hardly worked in my early-mid 20s. Eventually got my life around when I joined a trade union.

[lupus002]

have you started applying to jobs *******? you got your degree.

[Parisii]

Is it not too late?

What's the alternative brah? Let yourself die?

[Visel]

Lol some brutal chit ITT.

Some people don't start their first career until their 30's+. It happens. And for those who did, some of them might've changed careers to something completely different between their twenties and thirties. In fact, some people never ever start a career in the first place lol.

You're 27. Not 57 and worried about retirement lol.

[ErnieMccracken]

LDAR crew used to be very big around here. I guess they all rotted away, though.

[SashaGab]

turning 30 next month and living healthier than ever before, also feeling great. It's never too late, stop worrying about getting older. We men age well.

[Dmoc23]

The thing you have on your side is time. Tons of people at 27 are stoners with a menial job, and the hardest part is breaking out of that.

Basically, you get a pass in your 20s and maybe early 30s but after that things start to get pathetic

[ChrissJ]

People who break up from long term breaks up pretty much have to "restart" depending how bad it is and how much invested in the person. Come out stronger and find new things to do.. We all got this.

I feel like sht cuz nothing even motivates me now

All I used to do was g4p before 2021. I went to a coding bootcamp and got a position starting at 85,000 as a junior dev and I still go my g4p on top of that. Clearing roughly 160,000 a year now feels good man.

Create something to look forward to. You can always change your life around. Not doing anything will only make the situation worse as every day that goes by is time lost. Time is your most precious resource. Use it wisely.

[DesiredUserphag]

It's really over. LDAR boyo




















































jk get up and BE SOMEBODY BOYO!

Me at 25
- Pizza Delivery Driver (only hospitality work experience)
- Not Started my degree
- No Marketable Skills
- Foreveralone
- Finances - Considering I was a delivery driver in Africa it was okay I guess. Could afford a cheap second hand car cash at least and buy food but no money for fun.


Me at 33
- Operations Manager of an IT Helpdesk for a Bluechip Service Provider.
- Completed 3 Year Bachelors, 1 Year Honours (cum laude), 2x IT Management Certifications

- Going out regularly, making friends, pulling every decent looking girls now and then without actually trying
- Finances - Retirement Funding ahead of most people my age who started in their early twenties, no debt at all outside of my bond which is 60% paid for on the apartment I own. Can do out basically daily, can buy my semi dream car (not a supercar), can go on holiday overseas like 3 times a year without negatively impacting my finances.


Short version, you will be surprised how late you can start, how much experience you actually have in terms of logical thinking and problem solving by simply being a male who went to a half way decent school and has a few years under his belt, and how weak most of the competition will be if you simply focus on outworking your peers, even if they are more talented.
