Just wait until 43. You’ll realize that your plan to do a bunch of awesome shit during your 42nd year (because that number is the answer to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything) backfired, and you don’t even have the energy to jack off much, anymore.
The only consolation is knowing that your apathy will grow in proportion to your decay, so by the time you’re TRULY incapable and decrepit, you literally won’t be capable of giving a shit about the situation.

I’m 46. I did nothing for my birthday this year but get Indian food (which also get other times of the year). I think my wife got me some sort of not very expensive present, but I don’t remember what it was. I’ve also been married for 23 years. I don’t remember the last time we did something special or even gave each other gifts on our anniversary. This year, we spent it in a car driving to Niagara Falls for a family vacation.
We just don’t give much of a shit anymore.
