The "cover band" analogy hit hard. I played rhythm guitar in a metal band in my teens and twenties. Graduated from college, went looking for a "real" career and spent thirty years (more or less) banging my head against the corporate glass ceiling. Now I'm 62, an empty nester (my son got married in August), I have four electric guitars, a great teacher, a supportive wife...and it's time to get the band back together (even with different guys LOL). I'm looking forward to being the oldest, blackest headbanger in the room...
Well past the 50s and above. Still want to make a dent in the world. Divorced, alone, still capable. As you said, time, tried pleasing others, it didn't work, now I'm left with myself.
Im 29 turning 30 and im single with no kids. Its just me and my dog and im super lonely and depressed. Ive outgrown going to the club and Everyone my age is getting married and having kids and I want more out of my life like they have.
@@forthdimension686being alone with your dog won’t get you what you want. You need to expose yourself to the world and to a rich environment that has your wants and desires. Wishing you the very best of luck 🙂
@@forthdimension686 So you just want to do what everyone else is doing just because? Many of those people will end up divorced like two people in my family with mom and dad living apart and sharing the kids. Its messy. its ok to be single! You are not alone.
Thanks for the video! I'm a 50-year old male with no kids and never married. My "event" was being laid off last year from my job of 20+ years. I found another job 6 months later working for a competitor but it wasn't the same. They didn't have the things I liked from my old job and seemed to have too many of the things I didn't like. I ended up resigning which is something that I haven't done since I was a teenager. Now, I'm living off of retirement using a little known method that allows me to avoid the penalties normally associated with early withdrawal. Financially, I'm doing fine but I still feel like I did when I was laid off. I don't know what I SHOULD be doing. I know what I DON'T WANT to do but I've never been able to articulate what I do want. I feel like I should be on some sort of journey but I don't have a destination in mind. You know, people tell me that being laid off is like going thru a divorce but since I've never been married, I can't relate to that analogy. Instead, I always compare it to experiencing a death in the family since it's sudden and shakes you to the core. Well, anyway, that's my story. I'm glad I found your channel today. I feel like I needed to hear what you had to say. Thanks again.
🙌 I'm glad you found it too. Thanks.. Any loss, job, relationship, etc... has some grief with it... if it mattered to you. The simple but surprising thing about this age is.... YOU get to pick the destination now. AND you don't have to be on a JOURNEY like everyone else... What's right... is what's right for you and if you don't know.... try it all on for size. - Thanks for subscribing... Make sure to share with others please.
Alchemy calls the original pile of dung 'prima materia' and is required for the operation to realize the real gold of integral human perception. The pallet, yes. Every art, even music, needs the messy corner for the beautiful things to take shape.
Here's where a 50 years young bard still holds treasure for the young; simple training of the different aspects of my human body like deep belly breath, droning tones like a monk, learning enough anatomy to correctly feel my physical structure, martial arts, qigong still have my skills advancing to levels beyond my beginning in my pre-teens, after a decades long breakdown where I put together the skill set I have presently. This skill set meets the lack of skill and reverence for the craft of music when 'perfection' scrapes away all the features that made music really throb and pulse with joyful sonic medicine for living in a hard world. The people become trash heaps of ourselves when we don't hold space for the messy and simple and unmusical warm up methods to both maintain and keep advancing musical skills, like the pallet for the painter, or the unholy mess of the alchemist who is courageous enough to do the advanced work to transmute the original trauma into a personal golden age.
Instant gratification is a path to despondency and despair, thus the trap of Solomon who gets too much power for one little human to hold. Hail Saturn who most call malefic; these kids are the most childish of the ages for the trap of the screens and all the instant gratification on shallow levels that addict, and distract us from the human disciplines to make our world beautiful again instead of the decay and gloom taking so many urban places into hell.
