Anonymous asked: As you enter early middle age, how have you rewritten your life narrative to accommodate failure to Achieve Greatness or fulfill any of your young adult dreams and aspirations (I've read your shit going way back, I know this is true)? Obviously the yeoman of the land shtick is part of that, but how are you going to work that when you're too decrepit / tired to handle it on your own? W/o a wife or kids you can't become a paterfamilias. What's the plan for not suiciding in your fifties?
