[QUOTE="Herobizkit, post: 4768413, member: 36150"] I have recently turned 33, and I also feel like I've gotten buried by the mundane and the ordinary. I feel like 1993 was the best year of my life - the year I graduated high school. I know I drifted through my 20's, spending half of them with a woman I shouldn't have. I don't have my own place, own car, single, never married, no kids... in many ways, I feel like I'm no better off than I was back in high school! I know that's not strictly the case, but this attitude has affected all branches of my life... mental, physical, spiritual, emotional... and very little makes me smile these days. My roommate and I got to chatting about picking up an old 3.x campaign that we dropped halfway through about a year ago. While it was fun to reminisce, the idea of playing high-level (10-20) 3.x seems incredibly daunting to me, especially since I helped complicate things by having all the main protagonists as gestalt characters. It may be fun, but I can't help but feel I should be doing "something" with my time instead of gaming, but am at a loss as to exactly what. I'm in the process of trying to grow as a person... but to quote (if you can believe it) a Miley Cyrus song: "Ain't about how fast I get there, ain't about what's waiting on the other side... it's the climb."
