Is it even possible for a guy this age to get up?

I havent even got a ******* drivers licence - I look at myself and I see a lazy, pathetic shit of human being.

Put men on the moon...
A blind man has climbed mount everest. Kyle Maynard,
a man with no arms and legs climbed Mount Kilimanjaro
Dived 214 m below the sea in one single breath...
Run a mile in under 4 minutes...
Sprinted 100m in 9.58 seconds...
Walked on a tight rope between two of the world trade centers...
Bruce Lee could do 50 one-arm pullups...
Conquered flight even in planes large enough to carry over 800 people and gone to the bottom of the oceans...
Defeated some of the deadliest diseases on the planet...
And you want to know if it's possible to move out of your mom's house and get your life together at 27???
I have the utmost sympathy for your emotional state right now, however...
Perspective, my friend. Perspective.
There are some videos out there you should watch on a site called "The Badass Project." View a couple of those and then get back to us.
Or here's one of the above-mentioned Kyle Maynard to start with.

To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
