Very easy to gain weight and very hard to lose weight. Clicking sound inside of the knees. Back pain sometimes. Endurance. Libido. Everything is not the same as before) I can’t drink the whole night and be alright for the next day
This started at 27+ years old, around COVID. Now knees hurt and my back gets injured way too often. Started working out, consuming vitamins, sleeping earlier and things are going good so far, things just hurt more.
Everything hurts. I spent my youth playing every sport that I could and now my knees hurt, my ankles and feet hurt, my shoulders hurt, and my neck is crazy painful from all the hits I gave and received playing football
I fatigue much faster, and I’m noticing my diet, lack of adequate sleep, and lack of water intake are all catching up with me. I feel generally unwell much more often, whoops.
Im stockier than I was in my 20s muscle mass is like
30xs what it was I was scrawny in my 20s i was 170 lbs I’m now 36 218lbs and i feel great also i have a dad bod.
The day i turned 30 i felt like I got my ass kicked and felt lethargic. Didn’t go out or do anything, just had a normal work day. Been downhill since then
Your body doesn’t recover the way it used to. Injuries take longer to heal. Your workouts keep you beat up for longer. If you get sick, it just lingers.
Teeth hurt. Gums bleed. Joints ache, pop, and click. Muscles move in odd directions of their own accord and then hurt. My feet are always sore. And I can’t turn my head too fast or I’ll pull my neck and then not be able to turn my head at all.
Skin grows random little things like wtf. metabolism is shot. staying up late feels like a shore. obviously cause of the routine, though. Internal muscle injuries take a lot longer to heal. my ankles give out at least 3 times a year. oh well. life goes on…
Less hair on my head, more on my shoulders, gray in the beard, my metabolism was great for a long time but I had to stop snacking so much (i.e. get the munchies and binge at night) which in theory sucks but in reality my digestive system is much happier.
You start to not be able to “get away” with things anymore and have to live a little better.
Or ignore the fact that you don’t have a 20 year old body anymore and become fat and chronically ill by the time you’re 40
I’ve kept up high intensity quadruple drop set free weight training for about an hour a day 5 days a week. I get my cardio during my workouts. I’m 50, I have high energy, so I know I’m doing something right. I’ve noticed though. When the weather gets cold, I do have certain joints that’ll ache a bit more that didn’t when I was younger.
You start to fart more frequently, you need to exercise even more, your lower backs and knees hurt more, you need an afternoon nap or shit load of caffeine
Everything takes a little longer to recover from (exercise, alcohol, sex) but also having been so well acquainted with it for so long, the good things are gooder. Sex feels fantastic, the burn after exercising is delicious, stretching, yawning, touching all improved by all the time I’ve spent getting to know me. Can’t complain
Not so much a change, but a build up. I am 36 and there are past injuries I feel. Its not that I feel like I get hurt easier but that I have 36 years built up now.
Your eyesight will fall off a cliff in your early to mid 40’s.
I went from being able to clearly read the smallest text in the dark to needing glasses and a flashlight to read a menu in a restaurant in a week. Apparently it’s completely normal.
I feel pain in my joints, and my skin is losing elasticity. I don’t heal as quickly, and my nails are garbage now. Oh and I’m also slowly losing all my hair.
Alcohol takes me to a really dark place and hangovers are horrendous. I’m really grateful for that because I quit drinking and it’s been a couple years now and I feel the best I ever have in my life.
This thing just barely works. I spent the entirety of my life to 23 running and playing basketball for hours every day. Then in my mid 20s I found Mountain biking. For the last 20 years, I’ve been putting in long miles and running into trees. It cracks, it pops and it’s always sore.
The gray that starts to come in.
The fact that MILFs are just women your age.
The workouts and sickness take longer to heal from.
Viagra is your best friend and you should not feel ashamed for that.
Turning 30 this year. My left knee swells and aches if I stand for too long. My legs and wrists ache if I catch a chill. I have arthritis. Battled with IBS all my life but now I can predict bowel movements with the inconvenient sharp pain in my side a few hours prior. Fun.
Just noticed things hurt more. Knees, back and shoulder’s. Just keep active. Take care of your body early and it does you better in the long run. It’s like a retirement plan. Take care of it early and you’ll get more when your older.
People age, yes – but – think of it like this; most people live unhealty, when the body is young and growing, abusing it doesnt do damage like it does after you’re what 25? At that point, any unhealthy living will begin to accumulate damage, bad sleep, soft tissue injuries, to much food, to kuchnthinking of problems, to much stress, not enough laughter, not enough movement etc ..
All those small muscles that kept growing and strengthening until adult age, now instead starts to wither due almost never being used.
Ask yourself this; top athletes or people who care about their health to a high degree – do they also experience random backpains, weightgain, depression, brain fog etc in their thirties?
We got to care about ourselves more after a certain age, the tutorial is over and choices have consequences.
Personally 34, nothing bad with my body has changed for me since i was 25. What i can relate to, however, is that periods of inactivity hits way harder. Don’t be inactive, use your body. Tutorial is over, fellas. Don’t lie to yourself – go do what should be done for your sake and if not, for your familys sake.
What are 20somethings afraid of turning 30? It’s 30 trip around the sun, that’s it. If you abused your body in your 20s you play the rest of your life, mostly.
High blood pressure and diabetes showed up. Dad bod mode kicked in hard. Also, hairline went back. Oh and I have noticeably greyer hair. Did I mention how all of my bones now pop and creak when I do things. Also my ability to eat tons of bacon is gone, that sucks. Oh yeah, and finding comfortable positions to sleep in just became a challenge one day. Also spicy food now makes me shit fire. Don’t know where that one came from but it made my once great relationship with hot wings much more abusive. I still love spicy wings, they just burn all the way through me now.
It’s more than just things hurting. When you’re under 25 your body has just spent 25 years growing exactly into the most perfect specimen of you possible. Sure you might be fat or have a serious injury, but all your organs and hormones are probably in relatively great shape. (Unless they aren’t, I’m sorry)
Now that I’m 35. I see the accumulation of my friend’s and my choices catching up with us. 35 is when you can see the real differentiation between people who take care of themselves, and those that don’t.
You can see it in their posture, in their fat, in their skin, in their movement. It saddens me to see people my age at the store walking like they’re not good at walking. (Granted some may have injuries) But many of them are just couch potatoes, and it shows.
Mid 30’s is when I started gaining weight, before that I could eat anything and stay the same weight. Early 40’s I started having problems with my knees. Basically your body starts heading down hill and you need to work at it to stay in shape (I now gym 3 times a week and watch my weight)
I have to work out more to lose weight. It was much easier back before I was 30. My sleep is chronically bad. I have to prepare hours before I go to sleep to get it right. Drink a lot of water so I don’t wake up dehydrated. Drink it 2 hours before I go to bed so I don’t wake up 7 times to piss. Don’t eat anything 4 hours before or my sleep’ll be shit. Sleep mask to keep the light from waking me, CPAP, and occasionally earplugs.
And when I do all that? Even then I only bat .800.
I turned 30 in January. I literally didn’t noticed a thing. Maybe later, after 35. I feel 20. I can still fuck for days, I don’t do it anymore but I still could.
I used to have 20/20 vision and that’s gone. My knees hurt. My back hurts. I can no longer eat whatever I want and maintain weight. I have grey in my beard.
“I’m thirty seven, I’m not old!” – Some guy critical of aquatic ladies distributing swords as the basis of government.
Seriously – you have to think a bit more about stuff. What you eat, what you drink, how much you exercise and how you treat your body in general… but it’s not the end of the line after 30. Hell I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been at 45 and all I’ve done is started doing a very minor routine every 2nd day, running a bit more, doing pilates once a week and eating slightly better.
Small changes lead to results – and if you partied your 20’s away, there’s nothing stopping you making healthy changes now that are going to allow you to live a better life in you 70’s.
Remember immobility is death – they can’t bury you if you don’t stop moving.
I’m still active and play hockey, but things take longer to heal and there are times when I can tell I pushed myself too much and really regret it for a few days. It’s no longer just take some advil before bed and wake up fine the next day.
Really at 29 it started but I started gaining weight very easily. Very slim and lean most of my life with little effort. Now I spent 5 months just chilling and not worrying about it and gained 30 pounds. Before that would have taken me 3-4 years.
For 42 years I had the kind of vision fighter pilots prayed for. I could read articles in magazines over the shoulder of someone two aisles in front of me…and then, almost overnight my eyes just decided. Ok. I’m done. I had to get glasses, bifocals. Since then they’ve gotten a little bit blurrier every couple of years, needing new script.
I just pushed past 30 and turned 43. I have to be more conscious of my choices to keep feeling my best. No more smoking and drinking and eating wings and sleeping 5 hours a night and just carrying on like nothing. Now I appreciate a quality pair of sunglasses, not for the appearance, but for keeping my eyes comfortable. My body is the same, but it tells me way faster when I’m not giving it the respect it deserves.
I wakeboard a lot, and from 30 to 31 I noticed that I don’t recover nearly as easily from a hard fall. And 36 to 37 the hang overs have gotten a lot worse, and back pain takes forever to recover. I pulled a muscle closing the door weird and it has taken me 6 weeks to recover.
Man I’m 30 and reading these it sounds like yall need to exercise more. My diet is mediocre and I drink too much but whew 95% of these comments do not apply to my experience of 30.
The second you stop moving you’re FUCKED… keep moving, don’t stop exercising or you will actually age… fitness is what keeps people youthful.
Good healthy eating becomes more and more important. Your diet makes such a massive difference to how you feel and your energy. When I was younger I could live on kebabs and chocolate for a week – I don’t eat either of those things any more. Not worth it.
To echo what many have said, recovery from a night of drinking is not what it used to be. I simply cannot drink like I could in my 20s and be a functioning adult the next day. So honestly it’s not worth it. I don’t drink during the week and I usually don’t have more than 2-3 drinks a weekend.
Also, sleep is huge. I’ve got young kids who are up at the crack of dawn every single day so I can’t stay up late. They’re up. I’m up. Sleep is now a luxury. Therefore I’m usually in bed by 10:30-11:00.
At 31 I learned to NEVER, EVER, trust a fart… I’m 38 now, and still live my life this way, though I have made the mistake of attempting to trust again.
I like to blame my habits more than my age. Granted age piggybacks onto habits because it shows you how long you keep those habits up.
People our age (turning 35) like to complain about body pain… but when was the last time you actually stretched? Moved around in a healthy manner?
My body hurts and so does my back but I blame my habits more than my age. It’s my fault I don’t prioritize stretching. After years of not stretching… well it gets worse.
Comments
If I eat wrong or get too stressed I will die
Very easy to gain weight and very hard to lose weight. Clicking sound inside of the knees. Back pain sometimes. Endurance. Libido. Everything is not the same as before) I can’t drink the whole night and be alright for the next day
Nothing, I still feel the same when I was in my 20’s. Your body is still maturing at that age. You’re at your peak when you turn 30
When I turned 33 I had to start peeing right before I went to bed or else I couldn’t get comfortable enough to go to sleep lol
The floor is far away 😅
Sleep becomes a higher priority.
This started at 27+ years old, around COVID. Now knees hurt and my back gets injured way too often. Started working out, consuming vitamins, sleeping earlier and things are going good so far, things just hurt more.
Those injuries I thought were no big deal years ago were in fact very big deals. I should have gone the the hospital many times
Everything hurts. I spent my youth playing every sport that I could and now my knees hurt, my ankles and feet hurt, my shoulders hurt, and my neck is crazy painful from all the hits I gave and received playing football
Fall and get hurt after turning 30 means that pain will never go away.
I became a lightweight as a drinker. I can’t do the hangovers. 1 or 2 drinks and done. I know… real exciting.
I fatigue much faster, and I’m noticing my diet, lack of adequate sleep, and lack of water intake are all catching up with me. I feel generally unwell much more often, whoops.
Im stockier than I was in my 20s muscle mass is like
30xs what it was I was scrawny in my 20s i was 170 lbs I’m now 36 218lbs and i feel great also i have a dad bod.
There’s hair in places that there wasn’t hair before
The day i turned 30 i felt like I got my ass kicked and felt lethargic. Didn’t go out or do anything, just had a normal work day. Been downhill since then
My knees go squeak when I walk up stairs.
Caffiene without food makes me sick
Harder to lose weight 😖
I need to have better sleep habits, rainy days make my joints hurt but feel like i’m just starting my sexual prime.
Back pain and sexual prime don’t go so well together… I’ve had fun recently.
Your body doesn’t recover the way it used to. Injuries take longer to heal. Your workouts keep you beat up for longer. If you get sick, it just lingers.
Teeth hurt. Gums bleed. Joints ache, pop, and click. Muscles move in odd directions of their own accord and then hurt. My feet are always sore. And I can’t turn my head too fast or I’ll pull my neck and then not be able to turn my head at all.
Oh, and I got fat and hairy.
Skin grows random little things like wtf. metabolism is shot. staying up late feels like a shore. obviously cause of the routine, though. Internal muscle injuries take a lot longer to heal. my ankles give out at least 3 times a year. oh well. life goes on…
I didn’t really notice any changes until 34
Now I’m starting to see wrinkles appear in my face. And I’m getting gray hair in multiple parts of my scalp
I didn’t notice much, I did start working out. Still have a tummy though 😆
Bruises or cuts take longer to heal.
It takes longer to recover from injury or illness and you don’t always recover 100%.
My knees always crack when I bend down. I neeeed sleep
Less hair on my head, more on my shoulders, gray in the beard, my metabolism was great for a long time but I had to stop snacking so much (i.e. get the munchies and binge at night) which in theory sucks but in reality my digestive system is much happier.
You start to not be able to “get away” with things anymore and have to live a little better.
Or ignore the fact that you don’t have a 20 year old body anymore and become fat and chronically ill by the time you’re 40
I’ve become considerably harmed by sleeping in a comfy bed at least 3 times this year already.
I’ve kept up high intensity quadruple drop set free weight training for about an hour a day 5 days a week. I get my cardio during my workouts. I’m 50, I have high energy, so I know I’m doing something right. I’ve noticed though. When the weather gets cold, I do have certain joints that’ll ache a bit more that didn’t when I was younger.
You start to fart more frequently, you need to exercise even more, your lower backs and knees hurt more, you need an afternoon nap or shit load of caffeine
even my aches have aches
Everything takes a little longer to recover from (exercise, alcohol, sex) but also having been so well acquainted with it for so long, the good things are gooder. Sex feels fantastic, the burn after exercising is delicious, stretching, yawning, touching all improved by all the time I’ve spent getting to know me. Can’t complain
I’m 29. I also did dance and gymnastics from ages 2 to 22 and as a result, have the back and joints of an arthritic senior citizen.
I wish I’d actually rested and recovered and taken care of myself back during my career. I’m sure kicking myself for it now.
Not so much a change, but a build up. I am 36 and there are past injuries I feel. Its not that I feel like I get hurt easier but that I have 36 years built up now.
things take longer to heal.. even though im working out im getting weaker
Ibuprofen is now a morning routine.
Your eyesight will fall off a cliff in your early to mid 40’s.
I went from being able to clearly read the smallest text in the dark to needing glasses and a flashlight to read a menu in a restaurant in a week. Apparently it’s completely normal.
This thread has to be a joke, yes? I’m 56 and only now am I starting to feel my age pain wise
30 shouldn’t feel any different than 21
For whatever reason the marketing media is lying to you and making you believe 30 is old, wtf?
Certain things start catching up to you depending on lifestyle. People age differently so some of the stuff is very individual.
I feel pain in my joints, and my skin is losing elasticity. I don’t heal as quickly, and my nails are garbage now. Oh and I’m also slowly losing all my hair.
Cancer. Twice. Also chemo have me grey hair.
Gotta take the time to actually warm up before doing any physical activity
That vertebrae in my back that goes out doesn’t pop back in as easy. Makes my back muscles super fatigued.
Less flexible than I used to be and pancake ass. I’m a dude.
Alcohol takes me to a really dark place and hangovers are horrendous. I’m really grateful for that because I quit drinking and it’s been a couple years now and I feel the best I ever have in my life.
This thing just barely works. I spent the entirety of my life to 23 running and playing basketball for hours every day. Then in my mid 20s I found Mountain biking. For the last 20 years, I’ve been putting in long miles and running into trees. It cracks, it pops and it’s always sore.
But I’ve had so much fun.
Just herpes mainly
The gray that starts to come in.
The fact that MILFs are just women your age.
The workouts and sickness take longer to heal from.
Viagra is your best friend and you should not feel ashamed for that.
Eating like I used to when I was younger is finally making me fat 🙁 The weight piles on so fast now, I have to actually think about how much I eat.
Much easier to gain weight.
Easier to get injured doing normal activities, or even playing sports.
Easier to fall asleep at night, or anytime, really. Not necessarily a good thing.
Less patience for long video games.
More patience for kids.
I’ve found I get a stomachache if I eat really greasy food now.
Turning 30 this year. My left knee swells and aches if I stand for too long. My legs and wrists ache if I catch a chill. I have arthritis. Battled with IBS all my life but now I can predict bowel movements with the inconvenient sharp pain in my side a few hours prior. Fun.
Oh wait until you hit 40 lol
Hangovers are murder now. Even just having two or three drinks will give me a roaring headache
Just noticed things hurt more. Knees, back and shoulder’s. Just keep active. Take care of your body early and it does you better in the long run. It’s like a retirement plan. Take care of it early and you’ll get more when your older.
Nothing?
What difference from 29 could there possibly be exactly?
35 here. All of your old sport injuries start to hurt when it rains and you start waking up 3 times a night to pee.
Well now I run 40 miles a week and bench press 300 pounds.
My metabolism slowed drastically after I turned 31. Since then it’s been a bitch to both eat enough, and be a healthy weight.
Sadly, cortisol seems to have an even greater effect on my health/well-being, now that I am past 33 years of age too.
All of these boils-down to “…I need [more] exercise in my routine…”
Concerts aren’t what they used to be.
Being a metalhead going into the pit and running the gauntlet is commonplace.
After a show you might get beat up, but once you hit 30 you notice it takes a few days to recover rather than just one.
love handles sadly. slow metabolism
the urge to be alone. when not ok.
I’ve started growing hair out of my ears and I hate it.
People age, yes – but – think of it like this; most people live unhealty, when the body is young and growing, abusing it doesnt do damage like it does after you’re what 25?

Tutorial is over, fellas. Don’t lie to yourself – go do what should be done for your sake and if not, for your familys sake.
Nothing so far, but I’m sure by this time next year I’ll be complaining about back pain
Pain lasts longer 🙁
What are 20somethings afraid of turning 30? It’s 30 trip around the sun, that’s it. If you abused your body in your 20s you play the rest of your life, mostly.
Everything still works, just… slower. Getting up from bed, a chair or a couch, walking and running, bowel movements…
Alcohol used to essentially not affect me like normal people, now I am toast after 2 drinks
Less morning woods
Weight goes on a fuck of a lot easier than it comes off anymore
I feel better than ever. Fuck my twenties.
High blood pressure and diabetes showed up. Dad bod mode kicked in hard. Also, hairline went back. Oh and I have noticeably greyer hair. Did I mention how all of my bones now pop and creak when I do things. Also my ability to eat tons of bacon is gone, that sucks. Oh yeah, and finding comfortable positions to sleep in just became a challenge one day. Also spicy food now makes me shit fire. Don’t know where that one came from but it made my once great relationship with hot wings much more abusive. I still love spicy wings, they just burn all the way through me now.
strengh increasing , more veins apparition here and there ,some white hair growin both in beard(less) and head ,made some posture ajustement, ..
It’s more than just things hurting. When you’re under 25 your body has just spent 25 years growing exactly into the most perfect specimen of you possible. Sure you might be fat or have a serious injury, but all your organs and hormones are probably in relatively great shape. (Unless they aren’t, I’m sorry)

My knees sound like glowsticks if I bend them
I cannot drink at night or else I will be recovering for two days.
You blink at food wrong and get fat.
Mid 30’s is when I started gaining weight, before that I could eat anything and stay the same weight. Early 40’s I started having problems with my knees. Basically your body starts heading down hill and you need to work at it to stay in shape (I now gym 3 times a week and watch my weight)
It’s as if the warranty expired. Shit just breaks for no reason and recuperation time seems to extend a bit more every year.
I’m 50. So I guess that’s “over 30.”
I have to work out more to lose weight. It was much easier back before I was 30. My sleep is chronically bad. I have to prepare hours before I go to sleep to get it right. Drink a lot of water so I don’t wake up dehydrated. Drink it 2 hours before I go to bed so I don’t wake up 7 times to piss. Don’t eat anything 4 hours before or my sleep’ll be shit. Sleep mask to keep the light from waking me, CPAP, and occasionally earplugs.
And when I do all that? Even then I only bat .800.
Minor injuries no longer take 2 days to heal. It’s a week or longer.
I turned 30 in January. I literally didn’t noticed a thing. Maybe later, after 35. I feel 20. I can still fuck for days, I don’t do it anymore but I still could.
Longer recovery time, and lower energy. Also if I drink I feel awful, so I basically stopped
Yeah, dick’s started to get bigger, nothing much else …..
My back goes out way easier now
I woke up on Saturday and my back/shoulder/ neck were so achey. If I was to shoulder check over my right shoulder it would pull and ache.
I’ve never felt so old.
I used to have 20/20 vision and that’s gone. My knees hurt. My back hurts. I can no longer eat whatever I want and maintain weight. I have grey in my beard.

Remember immobility is death – they can’t bury you if you don’t stop moving.
Honestly, nothing really noteworthy. It’s 40 when it all starts to go downhill QUICKLY!
I started to hate people.
Just over 40 here. I crouched down to pet my dog the other day aaaaaaaaaand I can’t get back up.
More sensitive to cold; especially during the winter months…
If I turn around too fast I see stars. And I wake up with aches that last for days.
I’m still active and play hockey, but things take longer to heal and there are times when I can tell I pushed myself too much and really regret it for a few days. It’s no longer just take some advil before bed and wake up fine the next day.
My dongs grown 3 sizes. It’s only been a few months too!
My back hurts 😭
I’m 48 and the perimenopause train is not fun.
Really at 29 it started but I started gaining weight very easily. Very slim and lean most of my life with little effort. Now I spent 5 months just chilling and not worrying about it and gained 30 pounds. Before that would have taken me 3-4 years.
For 42 years I had the kind of vision fighter pilots prayed for. I could read articles in magazines over the shoulder of someone two aisles in front of me…and then, almost overnight my eyes just decided. Ok. I’m done. I had to get glasses, bifocals. Since then they’ve gotten a little bit blurrier every couple of years, needing new script.
My thyroid started eating itself.
You get sick for longer and you get tired easily.
And the back always flipping hurts.
People act like being in your 30s is old. I feel better than when I was in my 20s I try to stay active stay healthy. You’re still young at 30-37.
Ow
Just because you dont feel pain lifting something today, wait till tomorrow.
Not a lot, maintain your body in your 20s and you will be fine in your 30s.
Just turned 30 early March. I suddenly cannot run on 4-5 hours of sleep a day. I did it everyday for years and now I need my sleep more than ever.
I look better. Because I’m richer.
Stuff takes slightly longer to get over
Night sweats Every. Single. Night 😭 I also definitely notice my metabolism slowing down – I gain weight easier now
I just pushed past 30 and turned 43. I have to be more conscious of my choices to keep feeling my best. No more smoking and drinking and eating wings and sleeping 5 hours a night and just carrying on like nothing. Now I appreciate a quality pair of sunglasses, not for the appearance, but for keeping my eyes comfortable. My body is the same, but it tells me way faster when I’m not giving it the respect it deserves.
Disappointing but I smile less. 🥲
I wakeboard a lot, and from 30 to 31 I noticed that I don’t recover nearly as easily from a hard fall. And 36 to 37 the hang overs have gotten a lot worse, and back pain takes forever to recover. I pulled a muscle closing the door weird and it has taken me 6 weeks to recover.
The same week I turned thirty I gained 5 lbs, my knee started to ache and found my first grey hair.
Man I’m 30 and reading these it sounds like yall need to exercise more. My diet is mediocre and I drink too much but whew 95% of these comments do not apply to my experience of 30.
Are you all 30 or 60?
I have noticed that my son will not be playing hockey or football.
I just turned 35 and got my first grey hair !!
Jelly dripping from the navel.
The second you stop moving you’re FUCKED… keep moving, don’t stop exercising or you will actually age… fitness is what keeps people youthful.
Good healthy eating becomes more and more important. Your diet makes such a massive difference to how you feel and your energy. When I was younger I could live on kebabs and chocolate for a week – I don’t eat either of those things any more. Not worth it.

Also, sleep is huge. I’ve got young kids who are up at the crack of dawn every single day so I can’t stay up late. They’re up. I’m up. Sleep is now a luxury. Therefore I’m usually in bed by 10:30-11:00.
At 31 I learned to NEVER, EVER, trust a fart… I’m 38 now, and still live my life this way, though I have made the mistake of attempting to trust again.
I’m creeping up on 30 but I notice I have more lower back issues
Your lower back basically shits the bed somewhere between the ages of 28 and 32.
Can’t stay up past 11 without feeling like crap the next day.
Bones pop more.
The way my joints snap, crackle, and pop every time I lift or bend over for anything.
It hurts. A lot.
it hurts
I like to blame my habits more than my age. Granted age piggybacks onto habits because it shows you how long you keep those habits up.
People our age (turning 35) like to complain about body pain… but when was the last time you actually stretched? Moved around in a healthy manner?
My body hurts and so does my back but I blame my habits more than my age. It’s my fault I don’t prioritize stretching. After years of not stretching… well it gets worse.
I can’t put on muscle as quickly as I used to.
Hangovers take business days. And milk is slowly becoming a mortal enemy.
I can’t stay awake after 9 pm
