Seriously, I see people talk about how much worse things are in some respect or other now that they're out of their 20's and I think... must have been nice - I guess I never felt that young. One funny aspect is that I don't really feel any older now that I'm pushing 40. I've no doubt that biology applies to me as much as anyone and senescence is coming for me as inevitably as it is for all, but I guess I'll take what I can get.
I was like those people when younger but when I reflect and introspect I feel the real issue was that I simply didn’t recognise the negative effects or take them as seriously, not that I could actually handle the poor lifestyle better than I can now.
