    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.

      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!

    Easy perspective to have if you’re a rich Webster. I bet a poor Webster would have less positive affirmations, but maybe in 20 years, poor Webster won a lottery and will have become rich Webster.

    So it’s kind of a 20 year time loop then.

    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.

    Not to kill the vibe or anything. But I’m depressed as shit right now. If in 20 years shit is so much worse than right now, then I’m going to take a long walk off a short cliff.

    I think this all the time. I have trouble being in the moment, but my life right now is possibly the best it’ll ever be. So it’s important that I take the time to be grateful for how things are right now.

    Now take a second to enjoy it Now."

    I did, and now that second is gone forever. Thanks a lot, Webster.
