Comment on Does anyone feel like an actual adult?
CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 1 year agoI feel like a decaying 16 year old.
So much this. You don’t get old, you break down.
Your mind still thinks you’re young, and then gets rudely reminded of the truth from time to time, that reminder coming more often as you wear down more.

Wake up, Jump out of bed excited for the day.
Horrific crunching noise from your knee, and a snap from your back that sounds like an industrial 3 foot thick rubberband snapping quickly bringing you back to reality as you collapse against the foot of your bed in agony. shaky hand reaching desperately for the tylenol and bottle of water you keep on your nightstand just for this moment, before hobbling into the bathroom to take the first of several morning shits, which more horrific than the last.
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is decrepit and aged beyond usefulness.

Even worse, now tylenol’s kind of dangerous for us when we have to be very careful how much we ingest.
We definitely need better human mechanics.

except I still have to take tylenol because I cant take ibuprofen with certain medical conditions I have.
and speaking of medical conditions, Holy fuck, why do we start collecting medical conditions like pokemon once we hit 30?

Blood thinners?
They increase exponentially as you get older.
