    I have never felt this way. Part of it’s luck, but even hard stuff I feel like has made me a better person, and happier for it.

      Oh you too?

      Lucky coincidence, 20 years ago, I remember there was this one time I really really wanted to get to the shitter

      Fast forward 20 years, and I’m so happy it happened!

    Well fucking thanks. Fat chance of me enjoying this moment now. Instead I just feel bad for all the moments missed and mortality in general.

    This might be true now, but I definitely wouldn’t want to be where I was when I was 20 again. My life back then sucked ass.

    I don’t know about two and three…

    I’m hoping that I will both be around in 20 years and able to eat solid food by then.

    I’m thinking about killing myself constantly. I can’t imagine I’ll ever long for this.

    Maybe if I’m dead? But then I won’t be longing for anything…

      It’s sometimes hard to find something worth enjoying, I hope this happens way sooner than you think.

    I sure as fuck hope not. My body is already broken and I’m quite miserable where I am. I understand my body will only get worse but if nothing else is going to get better this is the opposite of wholesome.

    This is terrible. I wouldn’t want to go back 20 years at all. Every year I’m grateful that it has been better than the last. Life is on the up and up. I’m not wishing to go back, I’m looking forward to next year.

    One can appreciate the sentiment of the quote to value every minute while you have it, but under a more optimistic lens, the quote is not always true. I was 10x unhealthier 20 years ago than today, and I would give anything to never be there again. We all walk a different path.

      I was physically much more healthy but my life-stress levels were much higher. So glad I’m past that. Now if we can all just do our bit to stop the world sliding into fascism, and of course climate destruction, maybe we’ll be able to look back in 20 years.

      I hope I’m going to be you in the future. I’m in my late 20s and straight up not having a good time, health-wise.
