I'd rather be in my forties and still be capable of having fun and being adventurous than giving into some idealized party life that most people think is what life is truly about. Yeah, I like my fun and I have it to, but there's no point into throwing your life away while you're young and impressionable and thinking that once you hit a certain age, your life vanishes. If you take care of yourself, you can be active and alert and full of joy no matter what age you are.
Me? I've been depressed and angry and bitter about my future as well. I'm going to get some counseling myself because I took a hard look at my problems and realized that I have anxiety and depression. I'm not sure how harsh, but I'm willing to go get them checked out. I guess I'm lucky: I never felt the need to do drugs or imbribe more than I could handle. But depression is a bitch.
The worst part about it to me is that it takes all the joy out of the cool things I do in life.
