    Me too. My 30 are basically the same as my 20s, and same for most of the people around me.

    But shhh if the kids underestimate us, we can get away with more! “oh noes, my poor old hip can’t handle pushing this heavy thing! You do it and I’ll impart some wisdom because of my advanced years.”

      I definitely take better care of myself because I have to now. In my 20s, I could have dominos and two beers without issue, now I’ll wake up incredibly dehydrated and bloated (I chose dominos because of the salt, not the taste). I do also have body pains, but I did sports pretty intensely before the pandemic, so I think those are mostly injuries. I tend to need more recovery time, for example, I’ve been vomiting all summer from the heat, but otherwise I hadn’t vomited sober since my early twenties. I need two full days not to feel shitty and weak afterwards, which is definitely a development.
