    Holidays are a blur. I don’t remember individual years anymore, and every year I’m started at how quickly it became Christmas already.

    Ffs we’re halfway through February already. I was just putting up the tree like 3 days ago.

    Male pattern baldness sucks, esp as a trans girl

    Injuries take longer to heal and recovery from the gym is slower

    Hangovers now take two days

    Skin dries out much faster (though this might be due to E)

    Past 25 I started to realise I couldn’t remember everything that everyone had said to me. This was also around the time I developed a social life, so it could just be that my brain had more to manage socially.

    Past 30, I stopped caring about appearances so much and started working on developing mental skills. I was able to defend my beliefs better, make more on-the-spur jokes.

    Past 35, I no longer care about anything. I have bouts where I’m in interested in building things, or conversing. But now? Eh, work/sleep is enough.

    Using any tool that vibrate much like a string trimmer will irritate where my spine is pinched and I’ll regret it for months. It makes me feel useless. Fusing 4 discs in my upper back or neck would almost guaranteed make me feel more useless.

    I definitely can’t pretend I’m young anymore. It isn’t just pain, and when it is pain it’s not the worst pain. It makes me unable to feel my arm. I had to get an epidural of steroids to get the inflammation down to get feeling back, and I seem to be at least mildly allergic to that .

    • In my teens and early 20s I used to enjoy snowboarding. I was never any good at it, but at least I could make it down the mountain. Tried again in my 30s, and I could barely even stand on the board. Never made it off the practice hill.

    • Getting in and out of cars is painful now. Especially since I drive 90s and 2000s Japanese sports cars, which have a tendency to sit so low that it feels like your ass is dragging on the pavement when you drive them. I have no idea how I’m going to be able to continue driving them 20, 30, 40 years from now. I don’t want a giant modern car. Even sedans are SUV-sized these days.

        Currently a 350Z Roadster Touring. But in the past I’ve had a Genesis Coupe 3.8 BK1, an RSX Type-S, a 3rd gen Eclipse Spyder GT, a second gen 240SX, and an eighth gen Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart. All with a manual, of course.

        Congrats on staying in shape. My body is falling apart at 37, because I didn’t take care of myself.

    I no longer feel a sense of unrealised potential for myself I guess. That’s it, I’ve got what I’ve got.

    I worked construction from 14-20. Nowadays I work a cushy desk job. Still whenever we need something sone in our house (which is a lot, my house is a degrading shack) if it’s something I’m comfortable doing I do it myself. Every once in a while there’s a job that just kills me and I feel like I need a week to recover from.

    Last weekend I put new drywall up on my kitchen ceiling. I used to do it all the time with ease, by myself, light work. Nowadays I’m glad my wife wasn’t home to see me struggling. I had to pull out all my tricks and it was still fucking rough.
