Yesterday, my sister asked me why I spend so much time in my own room, instead of with the family and friends, as in the past (just a couple of weeks ago). According to her, I have also become more serious, quiet and "less fun overally". She told me she thought I was, either depressed, or addicted to some online game.

I informed her I'm simply studying for my high school final exams, but what I'm actually doing is read lots of books e.g. the Millionaire Fastlane . I also spend a lot of time reading useful threads. I actually prefer doing this rather than socializing nowadays, with the sole purpose of one day launching a successful biz myself and to drive that white, shiny Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 or the exotic Koenigsegg Agera S Hundra.

While it is true that I laugh less nowadays, I'm convinced that it's worth it and that I'm doing the right thing (for myself), and at this very moment I don't care about my parents and sister and friends as much as before. I don't think that's bad. What I do worry about though, is whether, 15 years from now, I will regret for not having had more fun with my sister and parents, who are getting older and older, or not. It also doesn't help that my best friends' mother just died in a car accident, which I realized could abruptly happen to my loved ones too.

So that evening, I proposed to my sister and parents we could go to the cinema and watch the new Spartans movie, which we did, and it was fun as hell. However, the next day, after school and going to the gym, I spent the whole day reading books and threads including JackEdwards' gold thread, which I enjoyed even more. And now, I'm just slightly confused.
