we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
don't really know what to do to help him. he tried therapy and naltrexone in the past which i think just gives him a belief that nothing would work in present
I've learned some sleight of hand magic and a couple of card tricks, and I'm making cigar box guitars.
Aging has been great for me.
When will you become a baby do you think?
What happens after that?
Same. It feels genuinely like some sort of psychic betrayal to be having these dreams still into my 30s. I haven't been in school almost longer than I haven't been in school! This shit needs to stop!
of all the people on this forum, you probably are the most likely Dorian Gray candidate here, maybe with Zonugal in the running

I feel gross having typed that...
The thing is I was pretty fucking fat back then so I'm probably healthier now then I was then
I mean i'm still fat but yknow not quite so much. Also I have a partner who I love very much so I guess I'm older but way happier
that's why I said maybe! don't wanna let someone run away with it without a little competition
With that said, I'm still remarkably bad with money and subject to buying too many video games, toys and music. So I guess I'm as ageless as my student loans?
I wasn't joking
i am absolutely shocked people thought you were
Most people in my family are weirdly morbid, like, constantly casually mentioning how they or someone else is just on death's door. I'm getting married next year and my grandmother (who is old, but in good health) is so worried that she's not going to live long enough to attend my wedding that she is coming out to visit this summer just in case. I think for the last three years every time I've visited my mom she talks about how it's probably going to be the last time I get to see her dog. On multiple occasions I've watched my aunt and uncle get into a weird polite-in-public-fight because she just casually talks about how they're going to die sooner or later.
It's strange! And like, I've lost people in my family, but not an abnormal amount in either direction, none of this feels particularly warranted. It has almost assuredly shaped my own attitudes towards death, although there's a lot of other contributing factors in the mix there too. I'm also someone who has struggled with depression and hung out with queer punks for a lot of my life, both of which contribute to not ever really thinking I'd make it this far.
Anyways, this isn't supposed to be about death, not really, but rather aging. And aging, in turn, amongst all of that weird death talk and complicated feelings, it does kind of feel nice in a way. Obviously there's a lot of bad stuff in it, and I expect there to be plenty more, but it feels like a natural enough thing that happens, and the thing about getting old and dying is that you get access to so much life along the way.
we didn't! I'm not surprised by this at all!
But on a day-to-day basis and in the general trajectory of my life, I'm pretty content. My parents are aging but active and fun to be around, I have a stable job that I love and a strong network of friends. Both sides of my family tend to live long and healthy lives despite our frankly terrible lifestyle choices, or else are struck down by exotic cancers with no readily apparent environmental cause.
Plus these days if I see some Legos I want I can just fuckin buy those shits, I defy anyone in the world to stop me.
WHY?!
I think number 2 is probably the worst day-to-day though
Gabapentin
Tylenol PM
Melatonin
Anti nausea pill(s)
Maybe 4 ibuprofen since getting frozen shoulder
Sometimes medicinal patches
This should probably also go in the aging thread, because that list doesn't get shorter as I get older.

It's the existential dread about non-consciousness and leaving the family behind that gets to me.
happy birthday!
I've got a noticable hand scar from trying to retrieve a sock from behind the dresser, what the hell.
