Getting older sucks.

I'll be 36 in a couple months. 30 ... plus fucking 6. Honestly, I didn't expect to make it this long. I did a bunch of dumb shit I look back on, drugs, mischief, philandering. I feel like a clone of Mick Jagger. Getting older means things tire you out more quickly, you seem to get annoyed more easily, and shit starts shifting around. Wasn't puberty supposed to be the end of that shit? It's like your body says "Watch me assume my 2nd final form bitch" and you just watch and feel the effects of it.

I guess I shouldn't bitch. Again, I made it to 36. Well, almost. Got some stuff that popped up health-wise, but it's all being taken care of. Quit smoking, took up learning some new hobbies, and I want to get back into school. Relationships now seem more of a burden than a blessing. I mean I like meeting new people, and getting laid is great, but ... The juice isn't worth the squeeze in most cases. Loyalty and trust are disappearing commodities in this era of views, likes, retweets, comments, and trolls.

I don't really feel old inside though. I still love my games, I jump-scare the shit out of my kids on a weekly basis, we ride the hoverboard and bikes together, and we watch anime and cartoons together. It's not like an obligation in my mind though. It's more like a great excuse to not grow up. Work is always work, though I'm out til the end of July for the previously mentioned health problems. I'm supporting myself and my family through my savings and investments, with a bit of freelance gaming hardware work, and it's not too bad. Just live a little more meagerly, but with all this free time I've gotten a lot of interaction and engagement in with my minions. It's been nice.

Hopefully I can make it another 36. I'm not quite ready to check out of reality. At least this one. Maybe I can tolerate another 30. Depends on how much farther down the proverbial social rabbit hole humanity goes. I wish I could say for certain that when I do finally eat dirt for the last time, I'll leave this world better than I came into it. Not sure that'll be the case anymore. Anyways, thx for the read, keep your chins up, fight for what you love, and peace!!

Nice, congratulations again about quitting smoking. Not only are you gonna feel better for that, but your kids will appreciate it later down the line as well!

Personally I am banking on science either being able to upload my mind, turn me into a robot or at the very least put off all the truly nasty effects of the malady we call ageing for a while long, and they seem to be making huge strides into the latter at least. So much so that I can't even imagine myself as a truly old codger.

If we are doing music though then having a hard time choosing between so I will go with all of them

Why not look back? It reminds you that the bigger mountains you've climbed over were more daunting than the smaller ones in front that you fret over.

Dude, I'm 38, I'll be 39 this year and I still love video games. Fuck all the losers who want you to 'act your age' and grow up. You're as old as you feel, a number doesn't define you. That's my outlook on life. Young at heart.

looking at my bank account, i saw that number has only few X zeros... i wish i could improve myself more when i was young.... fortunately you are still young, focus on ur job, man, when u gain financial stabilities you can also have more in you life... it's all about money now.
don't FORGET you must do gym/cardio at least 3 times per weak, it's hard to keep things going if you are weak physically.

I feel quite fond about getting older. Age teaches you to not care about trivial things that really have no meaning. I had a rough upbringing and video games were always a safe haven for me. Now I get to enjoy my vidya gamez in the company of my 3 soon to be 4 kids and sometimes my wife joins in too. It's a dream come true for me. I would never go back to my younger unwiser days. I know most of you will roll your eye at what I'm about to say but my life really changed when I turned my life over to God. Fear no evil and the only thing that can truly hurt you is within yourself(sin). Anyway enjoy your kids as much as you can for the next 40 years.

I'm only 31, but the worst thing I've experienced with getting older is the way my perception of time has sped up dramatically. I miss the days when I could just play video games all day and all night and feel like I have all the time in the world.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

tc, people's life from that age is not that complicated, the only things which money can NOT buy is family and health, you may pay more effort to re-collocate ur time for people you really care, and if that's possible, take care about yourself too by changing diet AND DO proper exercise.

I do a keto diet for diabetes so I can avoid insulin dependency, and I work out as much as possible. But, I'm limited until surgery as I have a condition call Atrial Fibrillation and possibly a heart valve issue. I have the surgeries lined up already so it's just waiting and getting cut into and fixed at this point. I swim as much as possible though. Its Phoenix in the summer so 110F is the average temperature. I can't power lift or do my speed bag or heavy bag routines right now which sucks bad.
 
My Great Gramdma didn't do shit, just lived normally and ONLY ate meat. She passed away at the ripe old age of 102.

Meh. Personally I go with
I will fear no evil, for I am the baddest motherfucker in the goddamn valley

or possibly
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.


Anyway

Why not look back? It reminds you that the bigger mountains you've climbed over were more daunting than the smaller ones in front that you fret over.
Every time I find myself in threads/conversations like this I feel odd. Mostly because it seems like I am not causing or getting my share of drama. I then find myself cruising along and doing things or pitting my wits against problems solely because they amuse me. Worst that ever happened was I believed the lie about education and all that (learning stuff is great, education is not necessarily the same thing) but thinking back that was only temporary.

@FAST6191 the problem, is that you're too damn smart. I'm fairly certain we could ask you to build a Elon Musk Mars rocket and you could it.

What ? I am very happy to be older every year as long as I have my good health going. And it is part of our processing of birth, older, and died. Deal with it. Again, as I said as long as you have a good health then you are good to go. I don't complaint. I have seen people say " Oh my gosh, I am getting older.. Oh my gosh, I have a grey hair"... etc. Wow, look at animals, they dont complaint but human complaint. No wonder some humanare such a baby. All they do is complaint. The animals are the best and they dont complaint and they dont care.. DEAL WITH IT!

The same for young kids said being younger sucks because they can't do anything due that their parents said no this no that. COME ON! Jeez!
