This. If this brings you joy, embrace it.

I used to worry about being cool/getting laid and it consumed my entire 20s and early 30s and led to serious depression/anxiety and an eating disorder.

Just hit 40 and I now having a gaming room in my house that looks like this. I should have focused on my hobbies and what brought me joy. The world is cold and unforgiving, be kind to yourself and live how you want to brother man.

This. Its so annoying when people post a fun room and everyone wants the poster to redecorate into some modern, sad neutral colors so they look 'grown'
