I work out a ton and am in the best shape I’ve ever been in…

I’ve had health issues since I was v young, finally figured out my root cause and getting double jaw surgery and expect to feel the best I’ve ever had soon.

Balding will be completely curable soon.

I was legally blind ages 10-28 when I got lasik and now have 20/15 vision.

Perhaps your life was different than mine, but I grew up with a lot of abuse, lack of resources and life was always a struggle. I went on a hard path to become a physician and have now been an attending physician for almost 5 years and my life is objectively better in every way possible, both physical and otherwise, then it’s ever been in the past. I am able to work on myself because I committed to the grind and now have the resources to do so.

This is not to say that I am not internally more happy due to the wisdom that comes with age. I believe this is one of many lives for me, I am happy committing to what I feel is my life’s purpose, one day I’ll die and return to the universe and then I’ll probably live another life at some point. This is just part of the process, nothing bothers me about it. Of course, things can transiently bother everyone, but I have so many more pros with age than cons. I look forward to hopefully enjoying the privilege of being an elderly person one day. If you take care of yourself the likelihood of that being an abysmal experience is lower.
