Been thinking about this a lot lately. I'm about to turn 42 and during college and for about 4-5 years after that I had what I would consider some of the greatest times of my life. Good base of friends, lots of weekend partying, poker tournaments, football games, lake weekends, Vegas trips, etc. It was a good run for me. As with all things, they end. Friends got married, I got married, kids, etc.
It's to the point now where it's been over a decade since any of that. My fantasy football league with many of those guys is breaking up at the end of this season. It's tough to get together for anything anymore.. it's just less and less all the time.. I"m sure it's a familiar story for many.
I mostly enjoy being a dad to my two boys, I enjoy my wife, and my business and finances are very solid though not stellar by any means.. but good enough.
Maybe the past gets romanticized.. but even the most fun and adventurous things I try to do just don't seem as awesome as the past.. is this inevitable? Is there a switch I can flip?
When I get together with old buddies... it's hard not to fall into "glory days" talk.. with very few new memorable memories being created. Any advice from the senior bruhs on managing this? I've found this bumming me out more than usual lately.
