Thank you so much! x

So if you would be satisfied if you did nothing and if you looked back on life and you were satisfied, then you would have lived twice (according to the text). This text isn’t telling you an X way to live life. You literally followed the definition to the point with your very first sentence

I have newborn twins who won’t sleep at night. I estimate that my insomnia is due to that. I have no power to revoke it. Stupid quote

This is absolutely stunning. Props to you for managing to create this beautiful work while managing children!

I’d be satisfied to do absolutely nothing with my life, people attributing false definitions of what it is to live poison our happiness.
There is no such thing as doing X. It’s a thing people made up that is ultimately meaningless if it doesn’t make you happy.
There is no predefined achievement for any singular person one can look back upon and agree that it was worth doing. You can only decide that for yourself, and if it were… then let it truly be nothing and relish the peace that accompanies it.

Angry? Where did you possibly detected anger in my comment? You should look inwards for that, mate.
Also, isn't nonsensical to accuse me of saying nothing yet being mad at me for something I said? I'm confused, which one is it?
I simply offered some trivia and then my opinion. Stated the fact regarding when the quote was written by the author, and that I actually think it would be more impactful if it was accompanied by the image of a mature person rather than a young one. It was an opinion, which you're obviously free to agree or disagree with, same as I'm entitled to have it.
At no point in my comment did I criticized people who do this, or said that the man looked awful for his age. Stop projecting on other people.
E: LMAO! Replies then blocks me, and I have the anger issues. Take this post's advice and tread lightly, bud.

I'm not sure I can actually help but I used to live in California close to Hollywood and all the major movie studios. My first thought would be, have you taken any acting classes so that you know you have acting potential? Have you done any work that requires acting? I've seen way too many in the LA area come here with big dreams and then crash and burn. It requires lots of money to move (go on Zillow or some other website) and check out the expenses to living in LA or NYC). Check out actors biographies and how they managed their lives and careers. Most worked second jobs for many years before being "discovered". For example Brad Pitt worked at a fast food chicken restaurant to support himself. Are you prepared to the sleeze factor in the acting world (the Harvey Weinstein types). It's not always the glamour some think it is.

Just use post it notes on the mirror like I do: "You're great, no matter what everyone else says!"

Am I the only one who finds things like this meaningless? Like, imagine being told by everyone your ideas and your art style is "weird" "strange" or "downright stupid" and finding out all you had to do to get a compliment was read a sign aimed at no one in particular...

I mean, I guess it is possible but I don’t think it is very likely.

More like "even after you die, someone will try to take advantage of you." That ain't the same tree growing there.
