You’ll be 60 in 20 years
Don’t waste your time

he got with the five point palm exploding heart techniqueYour life effectively ended three years ago, it just hasn't hit you yet.
Where did the last four years go, I keep asking myself?
Back when, four years was a long time.
I got a college degree in four years. Travelled the world, completed post-grad training and moved apartments three times in four years.
April 2020, lockdowns kick in and it feels like I've been time warped to here.
I was young (definitely felt plenty young), now I feel like I'm close to 40.
I partied with college girls over this weekend gone by and, no bother there, which kind of gives me hope.
But I find myself questioning, how much longer do I have left in that lifestyle?
And what are my plans for after it?
I have no plan B.
Being "young forever" was kind of my fall back situation.
There's a common quote of "40 is old if your unsuccessful" which is harsh but kind of true. The people I know in there 40s that are successful (mature, good career, good diet/workouts, good friends, fun hobbies) literally none of them ever complain about being old. They're mentally healthier/have a better grasp of who they are and physically have better access to nutrition/workouts than when they where teenagers.38 crew checking in. I am physically, mentally, and financially at my best. These fucking people acting old are dickheads. 38 is legit so young still and I won't hear any more of this. Me? Age is a state of mind. Don't look at life this way TS
I'm going to fuck Father Time to assert dominance.Oof... I thought the exact same way at your age. In about five years time, prepare for disappointment sherbro
Father time in undefeated.
This is so true. I'm too busy chasing goals to feel old. When I stop? Maybe I'll feel old.There's a common quote of "40 is old if your unsuccessful" which is harsh but kind of true.

The 40-year-olds with shit careers, no hobbies, poor exercise/health (or worst years of overtraining), and failed relationships? Yeah, they all look, talk, and move like an old person.
Ever notice what age there is typically a huge drop off and MMA fighters careers go off a cliff?I'm going to fuck Father Time to assert dominance.
Age to a degree is a mindset - if you feel old, you'll age poorly.
I'm 44 and I feel like I'm 30! I have my shit together, a good job, fiancé, a good eating and training regiment and I look after my appearance.
Its easy to give up because "I'm too old" but men are lucky - we tend to get better with age, whereas mainly women simply age!
You don’t have to be in your prime to feel young and stay in shape. Part of it is accepting you aren’t in your prime and just not giving up with what you got. It’s the guys who go, welp, past my prime, guess I’ll get fat and complain all the time are the guys who feel as old as they act.Ever notice what age there is typically a huge drop off and MMA fighters careers go off a cliff?
You can be in denial about it, you can put it off... but you are no longer in your physical prime and it's only downhill from here; It's still coming whether you like it or not. Best to just accept it and enjoy the time you have left.
I am not one of those guys, I still do weights and cardio multiple times a week and have never been fat but I recognise that I have gone drastically down hill compared to what I was physically capable of at 38 and I'm only 44.You don’t have to be in your prime to feel young and stay in shape.

Well yeah, but even you are working with what you have got. Do you feel old? I’m 40 and of course I don’t feel like I did at 25. But I feel damn good for what people keep saying 40 is supposed to feel like.I am not one of those guys, I still do weights and cardio multiple times a week and have never been fat but I recognise that I have gone drastically down hill compared to what I was physically capable of at 38 and I'm only 44.
It's called being realistic.
I don't feel old as such but I noticeably feel worse than even a couple of years ago.Well yeah, but even you are working with what you have got. Do you feel old? I’m 40 and of course I don’t feel like I did at 25. But I feel damn good for what people keep saying 40 is supposed to feel like.
It's a good point, I used to go every Saturday morning to a local Thai massage parlor(...not that kind) but stopped when I moved to my new house. I should start going again.Get remedial massages, I am 44 also and it helps a ton. Seriously a game changer
Yeah I do those occasionally too. Nothing like having a small Thai woman pummel you lolIt's a good point, I used to go every Saturday morning to a local Thai massage parlor(...not that kind) but stopped when I moved to my new house. I should start going again.
