this is one of the most depressing things i’ve ever read
Pshh you’ve never seen my pair of baby shoes
I mean… you’re not wrong… But still made me laugh out loud
Damn, that’s depressing as fuck future me should set higher standards cause present me is a walking disaster
Is the lesson, “Don’t take walking for granted.” ?
Knees aren’t guaranteed…
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.
This is terrible. I wouldn’t want to go back 20 years at all. Every year I’m grateful that it has been better than the last. Life is on the up and up. I’m not wishing to go back, I’m looking forward to next year.
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.
Totally with you on this one.
This exact moment? Dude I’m taking a shit.
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!
If I had read this a year ago it would’ve been completely false
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.
20 years from now you’re gonna feel:
Worse than you do,
Way less healthier
And hate your past self for what you’ve become.So quit your bitching and enjoy now.
— Poor Webster
Weird way of saying every day of existence will get worse.
Yeah no. That ain’t wholesome.
This is just telling the peasent to enjoy the day they weren’t floggedHigher quality version
It’s the same meme, but younger and fresher.
It’s the same meme from 20 years ago specifically
Thanks now I’m depressed
Feelz bad for Rich Webster whose life is on a downward spiral.
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.
Nah, if you peak too early you gotta live with the downfall. I’m planning on being the most healthy in my 50s during the second global climate wars.
Not physically, no. The best time to start getting into shape was yesterday. The second best time is today.
I exercise for the sole purpose of making getting old suck less.
As an old person, a lot of my aches and pains now come from fitness-activity injuries in my youth. So may I suggest MODERATION. Watch the wear and tear on your tendons and cartilage!
For sure. People need to know there’s a difference between getting into shape, and getting ripped.
When I started my most recent exercise stint, I took my workout program and started with 4 sets of 25 reps at 2.5lb. Once I could do the last set without any sort of struggle, I upped it by 2.5lb.
This has many benefits, such as strengthening supporting muscles, letting your tendons and ligaments slowly get used to moving the weight, and cements in proper form so you don’t end up doing cheater reps at higher weight.
It’s more difficult than many might expect. For instance, my 10rm on bicep curls is 45lb, but my 25rm is 15lb.
Some of us can only dream of that, because we have unrelated health issues that prevent us from exercising, and a shitton of other stuff. All we can do is hope that this isn’t the healthiest well ever be, because that thought is fucking depressing.
