>>7790150I'm pretty happy with myself and my love life and family. It's just kinda weird because I have two degrees now, a job teaching, the wife and I are talking about buying a house hopefully within a year if the market is willing, maybe having a kid within the next 5 years or so. She's 28, I'm 30.
What's weird to me is the fact that I basically hate most of the "friends" that were so god damn important to me just a decade ago. I kinda miss having bros. I still have bros, but we mostly hangout online a couple times a week and play tabletop RPGs, and we're definitely close, but we're all scattered across the country. I guess I'm just happy with me and my little life here and can't wait to move out of this house I'm renting. But I feel like I don't have a community to belong to really anymore. And a lot of the tourists that have invaded my hobby are, well, pink haired triggered weirdos that can't take a joke. It feels rough to even try to branch out and make friends because socially the US just feels straight fucked right now.
