Don't be a monk either XD. I want you to be 50-50. Have fun but also contribute to society. Buy all the things you love but dont be attached. Own things and dont let things own you. Find the girl of your dreams and make her the mother of your kids. Well, if you do not want that, that's alright too. Maybe just adopt a couple dogs from a rescue shelter once you are done with world travels and be that cool uncle for your younger generation. Be at peace and with people you love. Show your parents how much you love them. Take them out and also take them along with you on some of your journeys before its too late. Nothing lasts forever. Cherish every moment you can. Realistically, it wont be all good all of the time but make the good time count. Above all, live your life as if you were the main character in a movie and at the end, you will have to tell this story to your grand kids when you are older. You only get one chance you live life as Athul in this 21st century which is a great time to be alive. So, GO LIVE YOUR LIFE. MAKE IT COUNT. I will always love you no matter what. See ya later <3
