F19 looking for interesting conversationalists

I was having a pretty tough year a few years back. Things were rough. Career was circling the drain. Chance of promotion in the toilet. I was aging. The 30s were slipping away. Where was this realization of opporotunity? Was this the end? Was it all over?

I thought to myself, self, you're 37 years old, you have a couple years before forty, surely you can turn this aroaund. or can you?

then i realized, i wasn't 37 at all. I was 36. I miscounted and forgot to check. It was like I got a whole year of my life back. I bought a mini cooper convertible 2 seater and cruised around for a year and a half with the top down while I got my life back on track. Had a baby, sold the convertible, moved across the country, started my career over with a fresh start, started a small company/side gig, crawled out of debt, and voted for biden. things are looking up and maybe who knows the career might blossom afterall. Not 40 yet.
