As a 30 year old man with no kids, for at least a year now, I've been convinced that this is the best time in my life.

I'm finally independent, debt free, very healthy, have a ceiling over my head, am gainfully employed and am about to switch to a much better job. I'm in a casual no-kids romantic relationship with a sexy polyamorous nerd girl. I brew beer, jog long distances in a beautiful park area, go bouldering at the local climbing gym after work, dabble in DIY and generally do whatever I feel like doing.

Do I not have any problems? No. Nobody has absolutely no problems, because we live in an imperfect world. I have dealt with some garden variety depression that manifests as deep self-loathing. However, having time, things to do and some stability in life has granted me the energy I have needed to combat that on my own without yet going to a therapist for help. It isn't gone entirely, but I feel psychologically "normal" and healthy for the most part, don't lose my shit on a hair-trigger, don't need medication, etc.
