This is true about a lot of things in life. We tend to overlook a lot of the bad shit and think fondly on the good/fun shit when thinking about the past. I do it often when I remember my time in the military. I had so much fun, so many interesting and awesome experience, made so many good friends and met cool people. Those are the things I remember most and sometimes forget all of the suffering, sleepless nights, long hours, terrible leadership, etc. The best times can and often are the worst times too, because thats when we are the most alive, but we embellish on the good and diminish the bad.

yeah, it’s called solidarity and you lose it once you give in to your societally-dictated role as your wife’s piggybank
As humans we bond over the struggle. It's something to complain about feeling, something to share about overcoming, and something universally felt by almost everyone.
When i lived in a dorm, I absolutely hated the loud parties, the lack of kitchen appliances, exam stress, and small rooms. But now i look back fondly on how all those factors forged so much tighter bonds with what are now an extremely tight group of friends, which i will most likely stay connected with for many years to come. People would sit in the kitchen and share stories of parties, fears about tests, and frustrations about professors.
Nowadays i have my own apartment, I work a comfy job, and get a solid pay. But even with all the luxuries of a working life, I still strongly miss the life i had during my studies.
I think any lifestyle that forces you together with other good people will be remembered fondly in the future. So for all the anons out there who are working dead-end jobs, living in cramped dorm rooms, or are simply trying to get their lives together, just remember to share the struggle with your peers, and you might just end up looking back at it as the best time of your life.
>men in their 30s and 40s to look back fondly and miss the years of struggle in their 20s.
I feel this
Currently 33 making $147k/yr with a wife and daughter
But some of my happiest memories are from 5 years ago running 4mi every morning listening to Star wars audiobooks (the thrawn trilogy especially) when I was a KHHV NEET waiting to ship off to the air force
this is the scene after the family's wishes. He has no friends because he has isolated himself from everyone. He suffers from undiagnosed depression, which he hides from his loved ones because he doesn't want to worry them. Now that he is alone, his true face is revealed. He wonders how long will he endure
>34 and just moved home with mommy to go to school fulltime after getting out of a career that made me want to kms and breaking up with a long term gf I lived with
When you get older you will not care what people say or think
I moved out because after 23 I couldn't get a woman to date me living at home. They'd always bail after they found out I lived at home. The only way I could move out was to get a better job and the only good job I could get with my degree required moving to a different city. Now I still can't get a woman to date me and I live alone with zero friends and no support system in an unfamiliar area. None of my coworkers are my age. They're all mid 40's with houses and families and I have to sit there and listen to how perfect their lives are then go home to an empty apartment every day.
end blog post
Are you me? Tldr, I moved out and managed to buy a house really young and thought I was king shit. Quickly realized that being 12 hours away from family, not having any friends, and having zero support network sucks ass. I work alone and come home to my empty house. I keep myself busy with projects and working out, but being alone constantly is fricking rough. You're not alone broski.

20 min LISS run would be quite easy for someone in shape. 20 min HIIT could be enough to destroy a world class athlete. You have no idea what HIIT is, do you?
short bursts of max intensity activity (usually sprints or certain machines) followed by periods of low activity (like walking or jogging or even standing around) which is fairly hard to replicate by some gym class warmup tier exercises
just a few decent sets might be enough to completely gas you out if you do it correctly, so making it a choice between 20 minutes of HIIT and 20 minutes of LISS looks fricking stupid
Lowering your activity to hit 50% maximum heart beat as recommended is hard. The treatmills at my gym have heart beat monitors so I just did something like the following >2mph walk for a minute >4.5mph fast walk for 45 seconds >2mph walk for 45 seconds >6mph job for 45 seconds
etc reducing the resting and increasing the speed or time on the high intensity.
back in high school cross country, our HIIT days were usually on the track -- a common one was sprinting the straightaways, and then jogging around the curves
those workouts got pretty brutal
>He fell for the move out young meme >I'm neet surrounded by family that loves me for me >My parents have been together for almost 50 years >29 going on 30 in Jan, live is comfy, finishing up learning to drive, might get a job next year if I feel like it no rush
I might not have won the money lottery but having a family that loves you is like it's own lottery (also not being born American)
better for what?
Depends if you are trying to get stronger or trying to be a runner.
It's very common for successful men in their 30s and 40s to look back fondly and miss the years of struggle in their 20s.
Something exciting about sleeping on a foam mat in a house with four of your boys. Youth is wasted on the youthful.
stockholm syndrome?
Nice subtle bait, 2/10
I look back on having hair :/ (it doesn't get better)

Black person my "struggle" is just crippling loneliness nothing to do with muh grind and muh murican dream

Where is the family?How do people end up like that?
this is the scene after the family's wishes. He has no friends because he has isolated himself from everyone. He suffers from undiagnosed depression, which he hides from his loved ones because he doesn't want to worry them. Now that he is alone, his true face is revealed. He wonders how long will he endure
Hes mentally eeeel
He’s literally me
I'm 24 and people treat me like a fricking leper when I say I still live with my family. America is a profoundly fricked up country.

HIIT if your goal is cutting or increasing VO2 max quickly. Somewhat more efficient than LISS.
If you're working on distance or endurance, LISS. Longer intervals will also help increase this.
20 min LISS run would be quite easy for someone in shape. 20 min HIIT could be enough to destroy a world class athlete. You have no idea what HIIT is, do you?
I did this one many times, it didn't destroy me and I consider myself a dyel. Are you obese by any chance?
confirmed you don't know what HIIT means and got memed by some meme yt workout lmao cretin educate yourself
tell me what HIIT is
short bursts of max intensity activity (usually sprints or certain machines) followed by periods of low activity (like walking or jogging or even standing around) which is fairly hard to replicate by some gym class warmup tier exercises

clean your room and get some furniture, you'd already start feeling better about your situation
That's obviously not OP you terminally online, Internet addicted, MONG!
You can run with interval sprints and that's hiit anon.
If you want to burn calories and increase your overall fitness, HIIT workouts are superior.
