You need hobbies and distraction. It's never a great idea to always let your mind wander. Because, letting your mind do that, you start thinking of shit like the many what-could-have-been parts of your life and the hundreds of regrets that follows. You waste so much time trying to chase things that have passed you by.
Life is not truly over for potential, until you're at least 55. If you're 55, haven't done shit for yourself or figured anything out, then you've failed. At least then, add some entertainment value by getting upfront with police. You won't find anything short of excitement for being a nuisance.
Or you know, kill yourself if that's too cumbersome for you.
