RE: 2026 Graduation day - Dear God, who pressed the "2x life speed" button?

Midlife crisis? Excuse me while I laugh and laugh and laugh. You won't have that for at least another 10 years. It's really nice to see what you look like. I know these things don't matter much, but it is nice to put a face to the name. It's such a joyful thing to read this beautifully positive reflection on how your life is doing and how you have shaken off some shackles to live life. The more the way you want to. Transformation is ongoing And certainly as you age it's not always in a good way. As far as physicality goes. 2 years ago I was ripping stand-up paddle board surfing and now I can barely walk around the block. I'm trying to address that before it gets worse but there is a big part of getting old that makes you come to terms with the fact that your mental age is never going to be your physical age. Keep being amazing.

It's in the name - MID-life! I doubt I'll get far beyond 78!

There's already quite a few pics and videos of me somewhere deep in the hive if you look hard enough haha.

how you have shaken off some shackles to live life.

This is an ongoing process but I'm definitely getting there. Realising there's not really that much time to mess about floating nowhere is quite helpful even if it's a bit anxiety-inducing.

This must have felt so sudden! Immediately hooked me to go search your page - admittedly I don't spend as much time here as I used to - and came across this instead - what a great life! If I had wrecked knees from a lifetime of being super cool, I'd be pretty content with it XD

But yeah it's the inevitable decline I've seen in certain sedentary relatives that has kicked me into gear with strength training to prevent things like osteoporosis, dementia (something like a 60% decline with strength training somehow??) and so fort. Trying to nip it in the bud before it's too late - although the doctors say it's never too late.
