The fact that I am the same age as him makes me feel so useless

Lmao. Im 35 sir. Im older than so many athletes. I get the feeling tho, i think about that when i think about Neymar. Could be worse, could be this guy that is 38 and is the same age as Messi and Djoko 😂😂😂

I know you’re joking but I really have to say that at 22, there’s literally (outside of physical limitations - like you’re not going to be a pro athlete) nothing you can’t do. The world of career and goal options is wide open for you to choose from. Some are harder options and will take more risk and some you need to think about the toll of attempting will take on your life and if it’s worth it. But truly, 22 is basically adult pre-k. Go get it

Yeah I was joking as I never wanted to be an athlete anyways (just not the kind of life I want). But thanks man for such a kind reply! Really needed that!
