Is it just me or does it seem like the older you get the more of a challenge having a good carefree day is?
When I was young everyday even the bad ones had a different feel now I’m learning to appreciate the little good things in life. … Or maybe I will start too do that.
Each day has challenges and they feel somehow a little heavier than as a kid. Even the small stuff starts to get to you and the fact that they do get to you gets to you even more lol 😂 when I was a 20s I even the big stuff was just a little bump in the road…
One thing I can be proud of is that I don’t makes others lives harder or hurt people… Thinking about how fleeting life is it seems the baseline for living a good life ..treating others with respect and loving yourself …idk
That spiders gonna bite me now 😂 @Schizbro

Yea my energy has deterioareated a lot. I see how kids run and jump like there is no tomorrow.
Watch out for that spider just in case it is poisonous.

Have to agree life gets harder, everything gets heavier because I get weaker, and places even be farther because moving is harder than it was. Chillin is still easy though. I’ll have to double down on that.

Yurp …
We really do think there is something at the end of the road but it’s probably just back and forth up the hill of wellbeing

I used to be carefree 1 and 1/2 years ago. I looked much better and my voices didn’t want to kill me. I haven’t prayed to God lately because I don’t know if he will help me. I want to grow old gracefully. I would like to live to at least 90 years old.

@tarnishedLotus are you talking about physically or mentally?

Mentally… But it’s physical too
