Realizing the things that never mattered suddenly matter to you.

I’m at the “old” point in life where it makes sense, it’s quite profound, mortality looms and time is running out

I can't sleep like I used to. As a teenager/early 20s I could easily sleep for 16 hours and feel fine. Now I'm pushing 40 I'm awake at half 7 every morning, and perpetually knackered
Oh and my shoulder is fucked

Not even "old" old but realizing that doors begin closing to you. It's a simple fact of life of course that no one could follow all their dreams and whims let alone a small fraction of them. But still a piquant feeling of loss.
But oh well, death is likely to be pleasant or neutral at least. Might as well see the rest of life first.

It hurts!! I worked in foundries, I did pipefitting, and worked on oil rigs. My body is trying to tell me enough is enough. Need 3 surgeries so I don't end up in a wheelchair. The money was good at the time. But I wouldn't do it again frfr!
