I just started living with a new rommate and I am astonish by how much energy and things he has going in his life compared to mine. (I mostly 9-5, gym for 40min, cook, eat, watch tv, play videogame, read, repeat with the occasional boardgame night with friends) He does something everday!!!
He work as a firefighter, on his day off he takes construction contract paid cash, he also jsut bought a triplex which he is renovating in his free time, he ski, play hockey, goes to hockey tournament to other towns, dates a lot of women, goes to the gym everyday, always cleaning the house when he see something to be clean, travel a lot (he went like 1 month vacation to new zealand last year)(i dont even have a month of vacation at my job...) he basically does something at all time, he doesn't read not he watch tv or play videogame.... i havent even seen him relax beside surfing facebook marketplace to buy stuff cheap for his new triplex...
I've been living here for 3weeks now and It started a midlife crisis inside of me....Am I wasting my life away? I thought having a cushy job with decent pay (70k CAD, financial analyst, with a bachelor degee in admin) I was doing good, doing my regular 9-5 and relaxing at night with TV, videogame (lots of videogame)....and the occasional activities with friends that are still relax, like wine around fire, boardgame, camping, etc...
Am I living my life wrong or not to the fullest? how do people have so much energy? I alway tought I was "better" than most people because for me it seems most people are wasting their time on facebook and rewatching old TV shows (friends), while I at least was having a blast PC gaming and being able to always try new game, etc.... but OMG compared to that man I am nothing.... he lived more in 3 weeks than I did in my entire year....he always has project or something going one...and he has no "time waster" activities like TV, fantasy book, videogame...
EDIT: I need to mention that maybe it is also due to my Fiancee leaving me, because she felt "something was missing" and now I wondering if she was right, that maybe I am missing things in my life or I am living "wrong"
