How good it is to have renounced (almost) everything you mention...
I'm exhausted too. Physically exhausted. And I chose that myself after years of the exhaustion you mean! Guilt? That, if there is any "guilt" at all (everything is a question of perspective...), is not a manifesto, it lies solely in me. In myself, in yourself, in ourselves, because we have the choice and are allowed to decide.
Hihi, you'll understand that at the latest when you reach your wish of 40+. And then you'll be quicker than me, who waited until 50 to put this wisdom into practice... ;-)
I keep thinking about what you said - “don’t wait too long.” It never really left me. Every time I start to believe you might be right, my mind comes up with a bunch of excuses (maybe even like what I just wrote here). I don’t know - maybe age really does bring perspective, like you said. To be 40+, maybe that’s when things start to click.
I just learned the word Torschlusspanik - and your words got a lot louder in my mind. I know the word is often used with a bit of humor, but it landed strangely seriously for me.
That's another 10 years... Too long. And yet, I can't seem to agree with you now.
Let me guess, Böckchen? :-)

Torschlusspanik might be the right word. Midlifecrisis could also fit... ;-)
Jep... And his watering cans are quite heavy... ;-)

I think maybe all I truly need is a Böckchen - preferably weighing 120kg of pure happiness :-))
Ah. That is why life starts at 40...

120 kg happiness even if they have to work... 😉

Oi, he's got a new career! And he still looks huge even when naked - he looks like a water Buffalo 🤭
I just can't with the smug face... Employee of the month? Lol.

Yes, a new career: Böckchen is supposed to pull a small cart, a carriage for children (or heavy watering cans... 😂). Problem: He's too fat for the harness... Now I'm having a harness made to measure and by hand. Don't ask about the higher price - I just love the animal... 🫣

Aww... That's really cute! Kid chauffeur (and watering can hauler), but which one's going to be his career path...? 😂
Don't be so mean... though I did notice that unfastened strap 🤭
Everything is a question of perspective...

He was so proud of his new harness and really wanted the photo. I told him that it could be very embarrassing. ‘Oh, nobody will see that!’... Now it's happened... 🫣
