The original thread was “we’re all unhappy right?” Here was my answer:
No. I’m a single 35 year old man. I’ve just accepted a job on £100k a year after a long period of professional experience and dedicated study. My hard work truly feels like it has finally paid off, and all the sacrifices and suffering have been validated. Also every girl that I thought was the one I now see in hindsight that I’m lucky I was rejected, both because we weren’t truly suited and their looks have faded but also because the pain kept me on the path of ambition. It has been so hard and most of it I have been truly alone, but there is a peace in Solitude too. I do hope I still find a wife one day and start a family and I know I’m a better man and a better provider for everything I’ve been through. I Wouldn’t change a thing. I’ve found The pain has had more value than the joy.
