Easy perspective to have if you’re a rich Webster. I bet a poor Webster would have less positive affirmations, but maybe in 20 years, poor Webster won a lottery and will have become rich Webster.
So it’s kind of a 20 year time loop then.
20 years from now you’re gonna feel:
Worse than you do,
Way less healthier
And hate your past self for what you’ve become.So quit your bitching and enjoy now.
— Poor Webster
this is one of the most depressing things i’ve ever read
Well let me help you there, it’s not true. I’m happy where I am, and do not wish to go back to my life from 20 years ago. Continue making progress and improving, and you will be content with where you are. It’s hard, but it’s worth it.
Yeah my life sucked 20 years ago, fuck that… I’d go back further if I could change some things.
But if you go back 20 years, you also get the now, just later.
I don’t need to relive the hardships of the past.
I appreciate your perspective, my ’now’ kinda sucks. Thanks for sharing your thoughts ❤️
Pshh you’ve never seen my pair of baby shoes
I mean… you’re not wrong… But still made me laugh out loud
I’m currently unemployed and going through a depressive episode so no, in 20 years I will not be wishing I was back here.
Damn, that’s depressing as fuck future me should set higher standards cause present me is a walking disaster
Is the lesson, “Don’t take walking for granted.” ?
Knees aren’t guaranteed…
Now take a second to enjoy it Now."
I did, and now that second is gone forever. Thanks a lot, Webster.

It’s the same meme, but younger and fresher.
It’s the same meme from 20 years ago specifically
Not to kill the vibe or anything. But I’m depressed as shit right now. If in 20 years shit is so much worse than right now, then I’m going to take a long walk off a short cliff.
I suffer from chronic migraines, in 20 years I hope that is medically solved.
This exact moment? Dude I’m taking a shit.
Oh you too?
Lucky coincidence, 20 years ago, I remember there was this one time I really really wanted to get to the shitter
Fast forward 20 years, and I’m so happy it happened!
Bruh fucking same
Its not a very nice one either so I bet I’m 20 years if I remember this I’ll think “god I’m glad I’m not shitting glass rn”
One can appreciate the sentiment of the quote to value every minute while you have it, but under a more optimistic lens, the quote is not always true. I was 10x unhealthier 20 years ago than today, and I would give anything to never be there again. We all walk a different path.
I hope I’m going to be you in the future. I’m in my late 20s and straight up not having a good time, health-wise.
I was physically much more healthy but my life-stress levels were much higher. So glad I’m past that. Now if we can all just do our bit to stop the world sliding into fascism, and of course climate destruction, maybe we’ll be able to look back in 20 years.
I sure as fuck hope not. My body is already broken and I’m quite miserable where I am. I understand my body will only get worse but if nothing else is going to get better this is the opposite of wholesome.
Totally with you on this one.
This is terrible. I wouldn’t want to go back 20 years at all. Every year I’m grateful that it has been better than the last. Life is on the up and up. I’m not wishing to go back, I’m looking forward to next year.
Yes, but also this stressed out, in October of 2024? Either my mental health is in the dumper 20 years from now, or I need to pick a different year.
Edit: this thread. Yikes. Take time to take care of yourselves - you deserve it. I wish you all a good day and a pleasant good night.
This poem advocates for assisted suicide in a fun and upbeat way.
Thanks now I’m depressed
