MODERATORS
Everything you say is misconstrued through some lens over which you have no control.
example:
Me: Hey do you want to go for a walk when you are done what you are working on?
Them: Why are you always so critical of how long things take?
Me: What. The. Fuck?
Me: when you're ready let's do the thing we'd agreed we wanted to do around now.
Them: okay. (drops everything)
Me: okay...I knew you're in the middle of something, I can wait 5 minutes.
Them: ugg, no, its fine let's just go now.
(Later with someone else)
Them: Ugg, I always feel rushed to do things with [me].
Other: you know he'll will wait for you right, its not a big deal.
Them: I know, but I feel bad. I dont like wasting his time...(he doesn't have a lot of it left).

A few years ago already, I started to have more stories about I've done that cool stuff, rather than I hope to do that cool stuff
To be fair, I had the honour to spend some time in a south American observatory and it offers a shit ton of "cool stories"
I can't drink as much as I used to without experiencing an all-day headache the following day.
Sorry to confirm your suspicions, buddy. Be careful if there's always at least one process of fermentation going on under your roof.
When you get a full night's sleep and wake up feeling tired, that's when You've crossed the threshold. That and when you look into the mirror and think "who the fuck is that?"

I slept 4 am during one weekend because we had celebration, it's been 5 days now and i'm still feeling the lack of sleep and catching up.
i'm not that out of shape tbh, i use stairs daily on my 5th floor work office without needing to catch my breath, so i'm pretty sure ive got normal cardio and muscle condition. but the sleep, damn i feel the need to really catch up.
Me at 30: "I'd never get Botox I'm fine with looking my age".
Me at 50: "I wish I could afford Botox because the saggy mouth thing makes me look completely different and I hate it".
Also couldn't kneel down if you put a gun to my head.
