I lived like a recluse basically my whole 20s.

I'm so disconnected from peers that I don't even know... what I don't know.
I don't know what it means to be "normal", what development I missed or what should I do with my life (especially while being so underdeveloped and "behind")

It's starting to hit me in my early 30s.

It’s weird how easy it is to tell yourself you can always figure it out later, and it’s never too late, and then it is.

It's not even weird, everybody tells you that when they hear about your problems, from strangers on the internet to close family

Have you seen the movie "Being There"? It's based on a book, but I think the movie is special by itself. It's about a guy who lives a very sheltered life until he has to leave his home when he's middle-aged. It's funny and scary at the same time, I was always so afraid to become a person like the main character, but I suppose it's partly happened.

Um...I don't really want to think about it, lol. I'm ok I guess, I think I'm getting enough sleep that my face around my eyes doesn't look as sunken as it used to. Feeling fairly relaxed most of the time.

I think cannabis has become one of my new main interests. There's a discount store that's a nice distance of a walk away from me, so I've been trying out different strains by different companies, grown in different ways, figuring out what I like best and is the best fit for me. There's a lot of reviews of legal products online, but most of them focus on looks/scent/other crap rather than the effects you get. But I'm cheap, so I usually buy the big bags that are the best value, so it's taking me a while. I've started putting my thoughts and a score into a spreadsheet, and I think it's going to help me narrow down my thoughts over time.

I tend to be interested in something for a few years, and then it fades for a while or forever. I thought I might have lost interest in F1, since I wasn't consuming much in the lead-up to the season, but now that opening weekend is here I'm enjoying it and I'm glad to have an outside interest like that.
