For me it was "buy high quality pillow" because you sleep for one thrid of a day etc. I needed a new pillow anyway so I came to the store and bought the best they had. And it was ... ok. Like it's a fine pillow but my sleeping haven't improved really, it's basically the same. So I was disapointed :(

So, which life pro tip disappointed you?

I don’t think anyone below the age of 50 has seriously believed in “happy wife, happy life”. It’s very much a boomer mentality of “pick someone you don’t love and suffer through the relationship forever”

I did for a bit but the years went by and sure she's happy, but am I?

It's been 5 years and we're still together.

I think we both know it's time.

It's rough, man. Kids.

My dreams are screaming at me.

Am I supposed to 'follow my dreams'? Is it literal?

I'm not sure what I want anymore, whether I'd be happier single. My subconscious yawps but I ignore it.

Last night I was cheating with 3 of my ex's, at once, in my sleep. She said I was sleep screaming again, but I only remember the spice I felt for life. It's been so long.
