Got one of the loudest>you're fuckin' OLD and WASHEDmessages from the universe a few days ago (as if I, old as pic related, needed a reminder): my Dr. said I'm starting to develop CATARACTS.Had health anxiety since 15 (never felt "invincible"), so I had a sense of dread that morning, and worse, I detoured past my HS forgetting there would still be students filing out, and seeing all the young, healthy people with full lives ahead of them filled me with resentment and despair.The only reason I haven't roped (besides my parents) is the promise of life extension, or suspended animation. No idea how robots who just expect to grow old and die cope.
>>83275430I'm also starting to regret focusing so much on "health and fitness" after 35.At first I felt great, and I looked better for sure, but at this point I'm just tired, my joints are starting to hurt, and I feel every bit my age. Probably accelerated my cataract development with too much sun exposure.Wasted a bunch of time (probably 1000s of hours) I'll never get back, too.My fault for overdoing it.
>>83275514>"health and fitness" after 35.Also, I've come to realize the human body doesn't work that way.Besides drugs, filters, and other forms of fraud, the people who make radical body transformations after 30 usually were physically-active kids/young adults who just gradually let themselves go, so they had a reserve of muscle, bone density, and a well-developed frame under the accumulated fat.If you spend your physically formative years (especially puberty) sedentary, you've permanently stunted your development.
>>83275651>and a well-developed frameI'm convinced that being a complete lazy shut-in in my teens is why I have narrow clavicles and didn't reach my full height potential (based on parents height)
>>83275651>If you spend your physically formative years (especially puberty) sedentary, you've permanently stunted your development.guess it's time to kill myself
>>83276564No, I have to live my prison sentence of a life as long as I can to take advantage of whatever "medbed" tech materializes to either rejuvenate me or preserve me long and well enough to be rejuvenated. But I remember walking out of the office and thinking:>shit, I need to stick around for another 40, 50, or even 60 YEARS of this trash?

>>83275430I've had threat of cataracts since I was like 15, just go to the optometrist and take care of your body.
