i just want to live my life

i just want to live my life with no worries. live purely in the present and never worry about my past or the future except the occasional cringe and take each day as it comes.
wake up each day, eat what i like for breakfast, smoke a cig and get on with my day.
play my bass guitar and do my makeup, listen to some music, go meet up with some friends and smoke some more.
go home, eat some pasta for dinner and get into bed after cleaning my face and smoking one final time.
repeat the next day.
maybe one day i join a band and we end up having a few concerts.
yet for now, i am okay with my current job, but it would be nice to do it one day.

this is my new years resolution.
happy belated new year everyone.

Ok so your new year's resolution is to depend on who financially? The government or your parents?

cigsoffofthefloor · 03/01/2021 00:57

'maybe one day i join a band and we end up having a few concerts.
yet for now, i am okay with my current job, but it would be nice to do it one day. '

Do not smoke. It will make you miserable in the long term.
Otherwise, you can do everything in your list ( meet up friends on Skype or similar) with no problem till Mon or Tue, when you would be back on school- college (maybe online).
You have a whole one or two days left. Enjoy!

MaraScottie · 03/01/2021 00:58

I think you're on the road to a pretty miserable life if you dont plan ahead and think about an education or fulfilling work. Life is not as simple as you'd like it to be unfortunately.

cigsoffofthefloor · 03/01/2021 00:59

was it not clear that this post was lighthearted Confused
you can stop wirh the patronising too!

MushMonster · 03/01/2021 01:03

Well... you said you are a teenager so.....
What did you expect? And easy life?

cigsoffofthefloor · 03/01/2021 01:03

If you are a teenager who wants to share their ambitions, maybe insta/tiktok whatever is the best place for this with a misty eyed background and fancy writing, not a site with real adult issues going off. Not only that kid, we all had these dreams, but then reality hits home and you end up doing the shit you always said you’d never do.

cigsoffofthefloor · 03/01/2021 01:06

sorry that you're all miserable lol

cheer up

It's sounds great. The reality is you will have laundry. Plus more laundry. Council tax. Debt Grin
Only joking. Life is good at 40

cigsoffofthefloor · 03/01/2021 01:12

i hope not!
i don't want children or anything to tie me down.

OP posts:
MushMonster · 03/01/2021 01:12

We are not miserable.
I am just doing similar to you till the 11th, because I am off😁
But, you do not forget to clean your room. Do your laundry (including socks, even if they are under the bed). And wash your dishesAngry

cigsoffofthefloor · 03/01/2021 01:14

:D there are only 2 mugs in my room right now

I'm in my 30s and I think like this sometimes Grin Adulting can be shit, and yeah in a parellel universe I'd have been a creative type gigging and smoking and avoiding responsibility being cool.

As long as you don't get married, have kids and then have a mid life crisis where you wistfully want and try to do everything in your OP, shitting on your life and your family, I don't think you're doing too badly.

Also bear in mind if you work hard, get into a good career and save well, potentially you could retire early and do all the things in your OP, everyday. So maybe play the long game and your resolution will come true Wink

Underadesk · 03/01/2021 01:15

Its not being miserable. Its called real life. You just wanted an echo chamber really I’m guessing or someone to say ‘go on kid’ as I’m guessing your parents probably told you thats not real life and they ‘dont let you dream’

cigsoffofthefloor · 03/01/2021 01:15

i want to do it before i retire.
definitely not having kids or a husband though.
maybe a wife? Smile

Good for you! Live your life, it is yours after all, nobody else's.

You may find in time that your ambitions change a bit (and you will probably give up smoking), but for now, all is as it should be.
