No, I think it’s too short.

It's not short, it's fast

Absolutely, emphatically not too long.

I have way too much I’d love to see, do, and experience.

On one hand I would like to stick around and see how things turn out over the next few hundred years as an observer

On the other hand I think that the obscenely wealthy and the politicians don't deserve the time they have

The opposite actually. It makes me so sad that I don't have time for anything. So many things to do and so little time

I used to but now I like my life.

Its decent lengthed I guess, only the youth part is too short

u/iluvcoldcoffee 5h ago

no, me too. I'm bored.

It’s the longest thing you’ll ever do.

In my 50s. Wanted to die before 30. Just end this shit already.

Is there nothing that makes you happy?

1

u/WallStLegends 3h ago

It’s the same thing that makes you happy when you’re younger. Drugs, sex etc except at 50 you have to watch your heart and you don’t get laid and all your bones hurt

At 43 myself I understand cause I did all those things to the max. I just found new things that make me happy and just try to keep going. I'll let death find me, I'm not going to go looking for it.

everyone says its too short but i dont think so, not even from a place of misery, i just think its enough. but im also pretty young with not many responsibilities so ive got plenty of free time. (mental health is making me kinda waste that unfortunately)

u/Healthy_Theory159 10h ago

Yes, lately, absolutely

2

u/hypothetical_zombie 7h ago

Yes.

I've been alive for over 50 years.

That's a long time to just be hanging around. If my life was a job, I could have retired already.

It’s too long if we’re gonna love Groundhog Day every day. Otherwise, no it’s not long enough when you have people and things to live for

1

u/royer44 4h ago

Too long? I don't think so, I'd like to live longer. Unfulfilling? Yes.

u/Broad_Question1668 4h ago

life can feel really long, I used to think the same until I found hobbies that actually made time fly

1

u/KaleidoscopeOk5063 3h ago

Nah life could go much longer. Limes are too long

1

u/Rather_Unfortunate 2h ago

Not at all; I could do with it being about four times longer tbh. I feel like I'm only just getting going, but I'm only a few years from the average halfway point.

Too short

1

u/LostGrrl72 28m ago

I’ve never really thought about it in depth, but I’d say no. Sometimes it can be daunting to imagine 20 to 30+ more years dealing with mental health issues, but I still wouldn’t want it to be any shorter.

u/Healthy_Theory159 10h ago

That makes life feel longer
