And neither can you.

I outright refuse to age at the same rate everyone else seemingly does.

Today at Arbys, we’ll be celebrating back to the future by hurling through time towards the inevitable eternal darkness that awaits us all.

...which is why you should embrace the corruption. Drink the blood of the mannoroth. Who needs to live forever? Grasp the reins of power and control while you still draw breath in the here and now.

Gee, thanks. Now I feel just WONDERFUL.
/s
Backstory is, I’m more afraid of getting old than dying. Not that I would ever do anything to expedite the latter.

Well, have two solutions.
Only one actually, since a deal with a fictional character, won’t help you too much.

Hey, always glad to remind people, how short youth years really are.

Seeing how breathing and metabolically using oxigen ages cells, I might have to stop breathing to make it happen.
Fingers crossed!

As long as you’re still somewhat fit, it might not be so bad. Old people get to get away with lots of things!

True. But I remember what 18 felt like. I’m not quite 30, in better than average shape, but I can feel a difference from even just a few years ago.

I’m pretty sure you have a better sense of what’s going on with your body, e.g. how you can extract less performance in certain disciplines little by little, if you’re rather well off to begin with.
While I’ve scuffled past the supposedly magic 30 barrier a few months in the past, I can’t say I feel particularly sluggly or feeble. Actually, I think I could still get a lot out of my body if I were to go and invest more time into staying in shape ... whatever age brings for me, I hope I don’t end up lame.
Have you tried to objectively measure your 18 v 30 soon-ish performance?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m nowhere near feeble, I can still outlast most people iI know with hiking and stairs and what not, but there is a noticeable difference from then to now. I could probably get 95% of what I had back, I just don’t have that kind of time. And yeah, lost about a minute on my mile run, 6:30 minutes to 7:30 minutes. And it’s harder fought now. That 6 minute pace used to be effortless :(

Holla if you’re heading for a run next time, you’re not alone!
It doesn’t sound bad, just keep doing something routinely and you should be good for another decade or so ... keep in mind that the best marathon age is said to be somewhere between 35 and 45, depending on who you ask. ;)

I got grey hairs on my beard at 27. Even more so at 29. Plus, major thinning of my hair in a non attractive way.

What helps me feel better about it all is a saying, something along the lines of “getting old is earned”. Blah blah, there’s a little more to it that my old guy memory isn’t telling me about.
