Are you happy to be getting older?

[maxamusa]

100%.

I fully embrace it.



I see people have mid-life crisis and that aint gonna be me.


I like chopping it up with old folk 2.


Nothing will wake you up faster than dealing with miserable old folk.


You got one shot in the movie called life.


You're the director, producer, and star.



Once I realized that shyt it was peddle to the floor





choices....word 2 e40

I look at my peers, they even in the same mindset, doing their own things. Like someone like Nipsey would’ve been my age. Some homies even retired by now

Plus, I don’t mind these young nikkas too much. I have lil brothers, nephews, cousins, etc., so I’ve kinda always been used to being someone others looked up too. I doubt myself a lot though, sometimes I forget all the shyt I’ve been through

And did it so they didn’t have to. Most of them doing good and following in my footsteps (some even doing better than I was at the same age). The older men/women I looked up to are doing great too.

So when I’m around all these young kids, a few latch on and I just try to help them whether it’s advice, mixing their music with the ones that do that (and for free), or whatever.

We was discussing all our injuries at work and had a young dude look at me like
But I don’t look like it. Still in decent shape (not imo) and I stay getting people talk to me like I just be in the gym all day and I be like I haven’t been to the gym in months


Focusing on diet as I got older may have had a better influence on that. Back in the gym next week too. The older you get the more serious you should get with everything. I used to pride myself on “not giving a fukk” when I was young and it served me right at the time, but the older you get the more you start caring about shyt and that stress will begin to show


But fukk it.. you can always check out when you feel. Why waste the life left. I would say the worse part is the loneliness but thats partly my fault too so

Real OG spit

One issue is the more older you get the more people you lose and your mortality is on constant alert. But I'm grateful to have made this far. I lost a close friend of mine 15 years ago. He never got married or had a family which he talked about when we were in high school together. Nothing is promised or guaranteed. I'm very happy to grow older. What I'm doing more now is trying to mentor the youth and give game about not wasting time. Your 20's are very important in setting up a foundation for your 30's and 40's.

Until that awakening; you don't really appreciate anything

No, fck this sht.


Science better hurry up with anti-aging drugs and cyborg treatments . I know it may sound crazy, but I'm pretty sure one or both of these things will be reality before I'm 70, but I'm not sure which one comes first.



On the wonder drug front, I recall Alzheimer's being fatal condition, with no treatments whatsoever a decade ago, and now they actually have meds for it and a half a dozen more under fda review. And this is only Alzheimer's, not the other aging ailments that now have solutions through gene therapies, drugs, and enzymes.

On the cyborg front , it's insane the stuff the govt is funding. In grad school, my alma mater had a crap ton of darpa contracts on artificial eyes, robotic spine supports, artificial ear drums, mind controlled roboprosthetics, etc ; so from the tech side I totally see it coming. Some of them are coming to market. For example, the Indian dude in the cubicle next to me was working on software for artificial eyes and his work was bought by Facebook's oculus department and is currently in review. So All the age ailments from mobility issues, to failing senses will be a thing of the past if these mechanical solutions are fleshed out.

Man they got so many drugs out here now to keep you in shape already when Father Time really comes knocking.... I don't know about them but you better believe ima learn when its time

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

I hate this shyt on god
Got arthritis in my back and knees
This snow and cold air
Stiff as fukk, body aches for no reason
Being cognizant of what you eat
Going to bed early
I miss my youth

 

[Worthless Loser]

Yeah, so I can hurry up and die.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

I hate conversation and relationships as I get older. Most people talk about weight,complain about jobs. Married people and people who have kids are worst,they seem miserable and always sharing things about their kids no one cares about. Women are getting worst as they get older,dating market is filled with 2 time divorced single moms,washed up women in their 30s and 40 with personality issues and weight issues. Young generation doesnt bother me,they actually respect you and put you onto new things music wise etc. People leave your life faster then ever if not for miscommunication,just losing touch. Its more fun being more vocal as you get older,fun thing is just saying whats really on your mind all the time. Getting old is fun. Cant wait to activate AARP

 

[#BOTHSIDES]

It has its up and downs

But mostly yes

How long you been old since ya name is ol

 

[#BOTHSIDES]

Yeah, so I can hurry up and die.

Get your passport breh! Things will brighten up

What does going overseas accomplish? I don't understand.

 

[AyBrehHam Linkin]

30 is a sexy age

 

[MikelArteta]

Yup I am

 

[cyndaquil]

Preach, my birthday today hit 30. Older I get more I appreciate breathing, tasting air and all the beauties of life. Do your body right and just know don’t let bullshyt hold you down & you‘ll navigate thru life pretty well

Gang this a confusing age to be. Are you Gen Z or a millennial?

 

[cyndaquil]

Like someone else said, I love the wisdom and acceptance of self I have now but I wish I had it when I was 20.

But when I think of my entire life and my experiences, a lot of my mistakes and "failure to launch" makes perfect sense on some 1 + 1 = 2 shyt. Only makes me feel a little better but if you stew in regret you will only waste more time and energy. Just have to move forward and appreciate the little things.

Gotta train our mind just like our body. Deep meditation will help you relieve that habit of regretful thinking. You'll be able to snap yourself back to the present with the power of mindfulness.

shyt is a game changer for real

It’s a dope feeling schooling the youngins that think they know it all, look up to you and actually listen to you.

I feel like Melvin telling these young bucks about guns and butter baby.
