I’ll start: My first GF and I didn’t use protection. We used the pull out technique. FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR! I was 19 and could have ruined my life then and there.
There was this prince fleeing his African kingdom that fell shortly after. He contacted me and wanted my help in moving much of his wealth abroad. I decided I couldn’t help him, because I was preoccupied with different stuff back then. To think that I lost the possibility to gain some neat percentage of all this money…
Classic.
The real life equivalent to this is that time back in like 2012 or some shit when I heard about this new thing called the silk road and bitcoin, and I considered buying bitcoin at like $0.50, but was broke and got my weed locally no problem anyway, so why should I bother?
If I had a time machine…
Grew up in Florida on a lake filled with alligators. Swam in it for years. 🤦♀️
Got high with my ex and her new boyfriend. Well, he wasn’t her boyfriend yet. That was the night it happened.
That sounds like it hurt. I am sorry.
Oof
Weed kickstarted their intimate connection? I’ve heard of drunken hookups but this is a new one for me.
More like it prevented me from picking up on the hints that I should leave.
Uuuuuufff. Mind to tell the whole story?
Bruh…I feel for you. We got your back. Fuck her.
She didn’t do anything wrong. I was the one being an idiot.
How were you being an idiot? She fucked another dude while you were with her right? How did she not do anything wrong?
She was already my ex at that point. We were all coworkers, at a party after work. I should’ve left when other people started leaving, but I thought maybe we could get back together, and ignored all the signs.
Ahhh I see. Still, kinda inconsiderate it seems on her part. At least IMO.
Drugs. A few times my harm reduction practices were shaky at best, though overall I was pretty good, but still. I wouldn’t trade it for the world, but dumb nonetheless and life changing absolutely.
If only I could have the wisdom that comes from trauma without actually having to deal with trauma and it’s circumstances…oh I guess life would be kinda dull that way though.
Which cult you wanna hear about
All of them.
uh, have you had your coffee yet?
I took three tabs of acid at a festival and had one hell of a night! If only I could remember it…
Damn. If I have more than one tab I’m on another planet. Can’t imagine 3.
Got married.
Why are married people unhappy?
Lots of people rush into marriage without knowing their spouse’s red flags
It’s also not that but people change and grow, even if you are an adult. My ex-spouse had a thyroid problem and her personality was completely different and eventually we separated.
I’m married sixteen years and super happy. I guess it just depends on who you marry
I guess many end up in the dead bedroom subs.
IDK. I’m not married anymore.

I failed to objectively reason and logically assess the fundamental religious extremism I was raised with for the first 30 years of my life.
When I was in the Army, one time we built a racetrack, complete with jumps, for the bulldozers. One person drove, the rest of us just hung on with our bare hands, with the moving treads a few feet below us, no seatbelts, no safety harness, nothing. The motor pool Sergeant said we could do it as long as we all wore our kevlar (helmet) (he was also nuts and didn’t care about shit). That no one fell off and got crushed under the treads is a miracle. God, we were so dumb. Helluva ride, though.
So i was on a beach it was a grad party around 2004 or 5, i played the roll of a high school stoner (suprised ain’t 'cha) and was drinking and having a good time when i decided to slam the rest of my bottle and make molotov cocktail out of my empty JD bottle. I fill it with some gas someone had in a jerry can steal a beer out of a cooler and start walking to the rocks. One of the hockey jocks was the apparent owner of this wonderful cooler of free beer, and was rather upset at my generous usage of said cooler. So as him and his boys approached i lit the boxers i stuffed into the gas and threw the bottle almost strait up, and as i wathced the horror in the faces of all around me who were paying attention to the almost altercation, the lit bottle landed strait up at my feet gently in the sand.
Duuuuude
Bought 220k house for my mom to live with me. She passed away 2 months after I had signed. Old place was paid off. Still got the old place. Day dream all the time about selling the new place and getting out of it without putting money in.
Old place is way ran down, a crap ton smaller, but I don’t owe anything on it.
Got in a relationship in HS. My life would’ve head in a different trajectory if I had just focused on friends and school instead of devoting most of my time and effort to that relationship
Same.

I pursued a degree without really understanding what the one relevant job would have entailed until my junior year of college. Turns out, I would have hated that job.
To be fair to my past self, I was just a kid and I really wasn’t offered proper guidance. But yeah, wish I made different choices, so I didn’t have to go through such a huge quarter life crisis.
I don’t like how much society pushes kids to have their future chosen before they have any real idea of how the real world works. I did pick a good program to study straight out of high school and have a decent career from it now, but even then I dropped out for a while because I just didn’t have the drive yet.
I wonder how things would have turned out if I had pushed through instead of dropping out. Maybe I’d be farther along in my career, maybe I would have ended up at the same company and gotten laid off when they struggled during my “off time”, or maybe I would have burned out and ruined my career because I wasn’t ready for it yet.
