How to justify lost time

Above all, NEVER talk about it. You'll be tempted to justify this and that, never do it. Makes you look like a bitch, trying to explain yourself.

The bottom line is that the self-justification vibe looks far worse on man than a whole lifetime wasted and 0-fucks given, 0 excuses for anything made.

Those feelings you're having are not really yours, they're a byproduct of the culture we're in. The culture promotes "The Feel Of Missing Out" heavily, because that's the spur they use "subtly" to make you consume more shit, doing your small part in greasing the financial gears of the system like a good little beta. They have basically invented all those scenarios people call my twenties, my thirties, my college years, etc. None of it is a real thing anywhere else in the world, only in the media-riddled minds of the afflicted.

A natural man in a more natural environment does not have those feelings. He just doesn't. There's nothing he feels entitled to and so there's nothing for him to "miss out on". Life unfolds, he is there in the middle of it always. What does that even mean, "missing out" on something?

Think about it. Every day of those 5 years you feel are wasted, you woke up, took a nice piss, maybe had breakfast. Whatever you were doing that day, you did it. You were right there in the middle of it the whole time, didn't miss a single second... The insidious thing about that "feel of missing out" is that it gives you all the unicorn fairyland scenarios that you think are supposed to happen to you, like your life is a book with defined chapters in it, and you're constantly afraid you'll miss the exciting part of the story, since it seems so fucking boring at the moment all you have to do is look forward to when all this scenario shit is supposed to start happening to you. It doesn't, it's all a lie and basically, it's just a fucking commercial.
