On one hand, my body is probably fucked from laying in bed for 18 hours a day, every single day, a year.
On the other hand, moving about is exhausting and hurts so why would I want to do it? I fully plan on killing myself before 30 so it's not like I'll see the knock-on effects.
- mikelyons 7y agoWhy kill yourself before thirty?
- iikoolpp 7y agoI don't want to be old.
- simmanian 7y agoWhy is getting old a bad thing in your book?
- mikelyons 7y agoThirty definitely ain't old. It's just funny seeing this to me because I used to say the same thing when I was a teen. "I wont make it to thirty! live fast die young baby!" But I'm 33 now and it's been the best few years of my life so far. Still afraid of the diseases of aging, and of my elderly future, but it's the human condition. That's life, don't miss it.
- mondoshawan 7y ago30 isn't old. I'm 38, and I'm more active and exploring life than ever. "Old" is only what you are when you stop pushing yourself.
- mikelyons 7y agoJoe Rogan said in a recent podcast, "I'm _way_ more fit than I was at 30, and I'm 52 now. I'm way more fit because I DO more, I work out way more ..." Of course there's a certain amount of momentum-building that goes into that. And then there's the ALL IMPORTANT self-discipline ...
- korethr 7y agoI think Logan's Run was intended as a cautionary tale, not a model for how society should be. Edit: Less flippantly, with age comes some benefits. Yeah, while I had a lot of energy in my younger years and could eat whatever I damned well pleased, as much as I damned well pleased, my attitudes of that time period, which were very much born of my inexperience, had some long term costs I am still paying for. But the tradeoff is that with those lessons, I can make better judgements on what actions contribute or detract from longer-term goals, or even what longer-term goals might be worth having. If you play your cards right, getting older can be a good thing. So rather than thinking of being old as some terrible thing to be avoided at all costs, look to see how it could be played to your advantage. Come 30, what things would be fulfilling to be doing or having? If your answer is "nothing", then I think I can justly accuse you of not even trying to look.
- mikelyons 7y agoSee if you can come up with some goals that will take you multiple lifetimes to achieve. Spiritual goals. Life Purpose. Just pick something and see how far you can get with it. Don't just give up, that's not why you designed all this.
- fabiandesimone 7y agoI don't know your situation, but if you need someone to talk to, I'm here my dude.
- iikoolpp 7y agoWhy would I want to talk to somebody?
- mikelyons 7y agoBecause you'll find that when you have to explain what's causing your problems that it's not nearly as bad as it seems when it's just nebulous garbage rolling around in your head. Also, if you talk to the right person, you might discover that you don't exist and that Life is a dream, and that the point of it is to become infinitely loving and utterly selfless ...
- WhompingWindows 7y agoWhy are you lying in bed for 18 hours a day? Is it depression or another illness? Don't kill yourself just for turning 30, I am 30 and life keeps on keeping on, just as decently as before. Sure my hair line is a bit receded and I get a bit more aches and pains, but by and large it's the same as before, except I have a stability and future set up that I had only dreamed of at 23.
- brbrodude 7y agoIf you're not moving no wonder you think it's painful & exhausting to so and that life in general is crap, you're weak aka unhealthy and already 'actively' killing yourself by trying to go against what your nature demands, obviously it sends you the bill nonetheless. Easy to fix.
