Boo fricking Hoo. Congrats. Welcome to the show.
This was the only part that wasn't fully respectful.
You are an annoying person.

This is your real life. Enjoy it. Don't try to live someone else's life.

After reading this thread it feels like you define your "real life" as the life you will have with a wife and kids. If that is what you want your real life to be then pursue it. Date with the intent to find your wife and every day you spend searching for her will be a day in the beginning of your real life

Ain't that the God damn truth.
No time like the present. I spent years of my life pursuing a "dream" I thought I had only to realize I didn't want it once I got there. I have since started doing much more of what I love and much less of trying to please everyone else. Whenever I start to think that I'm bored, I give myself a kick in the arse and do something about it.
To the OP: your future wife ain't just gonna come find you, your future kids aren't gonna make themselves, and your future management position isn't going to create itself. If you don't like where you are, do something about it. Life began 31 years ago good sir. No sense on waiting for it now. This is the real life.

FTR, I can completely empathize. But you should appreciate that THIS phase is finite...the next one goes on for a long, long time.

There was nothing respectful about your.post.

I guess my point was that THIS phase is your real life.
If you're waiting for this phase in your life to pass, then yeah it's just gonna take time. But sitting idly by will make it last longer. Being yourself and doing what you love (hobbies or work, doesn't really matter, just be true to what you like) will get you on to the rest of your life that much faster.

Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then the one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

This all stems from drinks with a friend earlier who has all that.
He asked me when I was going to grow up and get the wife, kids, house, etc.
I don't know if that's my real life. Also don't know if the one I'm living is my real life, even though I'm happy.

Yeah, everybody says that, but the hard part is isolating what you truly love. It's also the part everybody seems to skip when giving this kind of advice, which makes the advice close to pointless. There has to be a methodology for figuring out what you truly want to do, and for most people it really isn't as simple as it sounds. It definitely isn't for me.

frick. That is the song of my soul. Since about 1989 FWIW.

That was my favorite song for several years.

Nothing will make you more miserable than trying to live someone elses life. Measuring yourself against other people, what they have and what you don't. In time, maybe you'll find your niche and they'll be the ones looking at you, wondering and measuring.

"Misery loves company" trite but true. WHEN IT HAPPENS is the answer...until then living it up. I promise...PROMISE...you're friend is jealous of you.

I don't know if that's my real life. Also don't know if the one I'm living is my real life, even though I'm happy.

Absent wife/kids, you should be enjoying the frick out of your life right now. Failure to do so will be a regret you will hold until you finally slip the mortal coil.

Why are you happy?
Because I'm living my life how I want.
I am not making a lot of money now, but I am building something that could.
I have a lot of ambition. I'm working to make that happen. It's not there yet.
I'm just waiting for it to pay off.

You're a sad man if you don't know what makes you happy. For me it's water and my family.
Really it's that simple. Pacific Ocean, 1 acre farm pond. It don't matter. I need water in my life. Working with it, fishing in it, living around it. I have to have it or I'm miserable. Throw in my family and I'm golden. I don't know how a 31 year old doesn't know what makes them tick. That is mind-boggling to me. What's the one thing you can't imagine your life existing without? What's the one thing you always want to be around? What's the one thing that brings you peace?
