I imagine lots of people have similar stories and gained direction this way. I cut a lot of old "friends" from my life and hang out with my dog now, who is just another family member. So I essentially hang out with family and go to work, but I'm perfectly happy living this way.

It is refreshing to hear that. I think that message need to be more publicized.

Do you think it is still worth it starting a family these days ?

Yes, 100%
I was far from ready when my first daughter was born. Had she not been born and becoming more important to me than myself, I don't think I'd be alive today. No I've 2 daughters and a better life than I feel I deserve. Family gives you (or me anyways) focus, meaning & brought a lot of joy into my life I was missing before.
