Today is worse than yesterday. But at least it's better than tomorrow!
In seriousness, though, your 30s will be considerably less garbage than your 20s. Stuff on your body is gonna begin hurting more, and that's dumb, but you'll generally have fewer hangups about things and life's day-to-day gets more enjoyable.
The world is a flaming hellscape, but not every individual moment has to suck. I figured that out in my 30s ๐
Por que no los dos?
I feel the same way, fwiw.
In your thirties is the first time you realize you have to do things to maintain your body.
Watch your calories.
Really look after your teeth.
Exercise and think about posture to stay pain free.
Sleep to maintain mood and energy.
Hydrate to keep skin looking healthy and energy and lots of things.
I recently learned the bags under my eyes are likely due to being too hydrated when I go to sleep. The recommendation to get rid of them was drink less water... Well that's bullshit
Is that a thing? I'm not going to bed thirsty. I accept my bags.
Cosign on the teeth thing. I've always been mindful of dental care because I'm afraid of the dentist and want to minimize visits. My wife is less vigilant than I am. She easily accounts for 75% of our combined dental expenses.
