The image is of a four panel comic.

The first panel shows a brain. The brain is saying “I’m 30 and YOUNG! I only recently fully developed!”

The second panel shows a heart. The heart says “I hear ya! I can keep going for DECADES more!”

The third panel shows a spine’s face. It weakly says, “I am old”.

We zoom out and the spine is using a walker. It continues, “so very old”.

    I feel this joke in my bones.

    Early 40s, in the best shape of my life. Jogged, lifted weights, had my diet, supplements, and sleep dialed in perfect. I had tremendous amount of energy and felt great, high achieving in many areas of my life and the old lady and I screwed like rabbits.

    Fast forward 7 or 8 years, degenerative disc disease caught up to me, now I can barely sit down on the toilet to take a crap. I’m barely functional due to the depression and loss of mobility and am in constant pain and discomfort.

    But aside from the back, muscle loss, weight gain, limp dick, failing eyesight, heart murmur, hair loss, receding gums, cancer lying in ambush, and brain fog, everything else is fine. 🤣

    Crazy to think the system wants to squeeze 20 more years of labor out of me. Why are we all putting up with this??
