Personally I think someday I'm going to look back and realize these were the best years of my life. Chatting with friends every day, spending all my free time stretching my creative muscles, organizing meetups and traveling around the country going to conventions... what's better than that? Sitting stuck in some house with a mortgage, a soul-crushing career and half a dozen needy kids? Nuh-uh.

I don't care who thinks that makes me a loser. I feel free. I'm having fun and doing things I feel are meaningful. What's wrong with that?
