Pretty depressing, isn't it?

Not at all depressing

Great news

I'm 29 and feel like I'm 60, lmao

Neh. Im just here for the ride. I've accepted the inevitable stuff 99.9% of the time. Learned to live in the moment. Learned to be there for those I love. Learned to....I guess that's it. Those are all the things I learned.

Meh, I am 45 and while I have some minor aches at times, I still keep myself in good shape, and I go out and do things like I am 20-something. Don't let age rule your life, bro.

I have a horrible back that limits literally every activity I can do. But the difference seems to be more so if you're gonna sit around and whine about feeling old or still be thankful for what you can still do. There will always be something new to whine about as you age. The difference is if you're a little pussy about it or not lol.

My favorite line is actually "Everybody is dealing with something" so that people don't pity me. And I like that people just respond "You right about that" and move on. It like a cheatcode to change topics.

Cause I wanna talk about my limitations since they're very relevant. But Im not talking about them to get pity, I just want people to know where my boundaries are set, so we can work around them while chilling.

32 btw. Age seemsvery relevant to this convo. Back started limiting me at 20. Take mad opioids to get by.

I feel it

I am the best me I have ever been at 38 years young

I always assumed you were older than me based on all your comments about being set in your ways

I am getting stronger and more intelligent each and every day.

RNG. Severe scoliosis. It's fine. When I say "Everybody has something", I really believe it. And it doesn't have to be physical. You could of grown up on a mentally damning situation. We're all damaged in some way. This is just my thing to overcome. Sucks that mentally I really enjoy manual labor and landscaping tho >_<. Not a good match. I can still do a respectable amount with my medication, but who knows how long. All I know is Im not spending my time complaining while I still can get away with it

My body is still fine

My mind has been permanently damaged for the last decade

Started feeling after turning 30, but with lifestyle changes Im feeling better than ever.

Well, best of luck with getting away with it for as long as possible.

Speaking of which, I wish I could have a little garden. My gf and I just have a single lame jalapeno plant on our balcony.

I'm 31 turning 57 this year

I can't even count where Im at during exercises during PT. I almost always drift off and just gotta guess where Im at. If my hands are free, I just use my fingers to keep track. I definitely am racing to dementia

If you were depressed as a teen you probably will be depressed later, not pointing any fingers.

Jalapenos are the plants that turned out the best for me last year. First attempt. My dumbass didn't secure my green peppers and the plants broke in half as soon as they started showing promise. I think I got like 2 peppers off the 3 plants.

I did not care for myself properly when I was younger and didn't really start until my mid 30s. Because of that, I feel dramatically better now than when I was younger

Yeah, I hope we get several jalapenos. We like cooking for one another, and both enjoy a little heat.

Back when I was married, we built raised garden beds and planted tomatoes, peppers, green beans, cucumber, zucchini, pumpkins, brussel sprouts and lots of herbs. Fresh, grilled zucchini was the best.

Our bodies are fine until about 65. Eat clean, stay away from fatty fats grease oil lard butter and soft dairy products.

Feel like thats a perspective thing. I'm absolutely in my physical prime at 32.

Good thing about growing jalapenos, is that in my case the bugs and animals wanted nothing to do with them. As to where, any time a lil strawberry grew, that shit was gone by the next day. Tomatoes got demolished too. I was doing it more for the learning experience last year.
