42 years old here and I think so far my best years were in my mid 30s when I was old enough to put things into perspective, financially more relaxed, autonomous, still healthy and willing to change or contribute positively to this world, still wanting to explore.
But for me, health issues started to appear in my late 30s and also I felt reaching 40 years old that my energy is depleted. Also I am actually less relaxed especially working in IT because I am starting to feel like a dinosaur (I still do software development). It might sound pessimistic but I think my best years are behind me.
- cageface 8y agoI felt the same way in my early 40s. That feeling passed though and in hindsight doesn't really seem to have had much real substance. I switched to a plant based diet a few years ago and that feels like it rewound the clock physically about ten years. It takes a bit of effort but the payoff has been massive.
- pacomerh 8y agoHey I did the plant based diet too and I feel great, basically less heavy somehow. And maybe related, I'm not sure, but less issues with teeth
