If you weren't a HS Chad quarterback and won the state championship while seeing your gf's face in the crowd cheering you on, you never actually lived.
Life is all about being YOUNG and cool, a generically handsome jock who lays with his gf under the stars. Having a cool group of jock friends to hang out with...THAT is what life is all about.
You never experienced any of that. It's over. You lost at life. Time to man up and become a provider. Time to downsize and save for retirement. Time to Gillete shave your face and become a mister. Time to acknowledge that you were always destined for mediocrity. Welcome to hell. Welcome to life.
