A heightened sense of mortality paired with seeing my parents age has been my least favorite part of getting older.

My parents are in their mid 60's and I currently only see them once a year. Staying in my current situation would limit my seeing them to 10-20 more times before they're gone. Had an opportunity to relocate for work to within a 45 minute drive of them, and jumped on it. Looking forward to the move this summer.

Yeah, this is why I'm glad I still live in my mom's basement.
It was all just satire. Sorry if I offended anyone with my trolling and sickening posts. Peace and love to everyone.

I was broke and in debt at 21.

I am worth over 3 million now at 31. Life is a good bit better.
Survival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. Doesn’t really mean anything. Or, if we happen to live through it, well that doesn’t mean anything either.

This is actually the biggest problem of my 30's so far.

The fact that my 20s were a waste of time and I missed out on the best part of life.

I dunno boyos. At 34 I'm feeling fukin great. Better shape than I've just about ever been, doing more in general than I've ever done. I do take maybe a bit longer to recover, and if I do something I haven't done all year, I feel it a bit, but a bit of prep and that goes away.

I am more conscious of safety, but still do crazy chit. I think weight training is key. Buddies of mine worked with me tapping trees in the sugar bush two weekends ago and they were dead at the end of each day, I could have done it all again without trouble.

My grandpa died at 80, and six months before he died, he could do 15 push-ups. Claimed with practice he could get to 25. Went water skiing on his 89th Bay, was dead eight months later. Damn skin cancer.

My opa is 93, lives alone and is still independent.

I think I got a good shot at feeling good for a long while, just need to add in regular cardio going forward.

Cutting seems harder right now, plus everyone around me is married with kids is the worst part. Knowing I can't go and play flag football like I used to without potentially pulling a hamstring
