      Well let me help you there, it’s not true. I’m happy where I am, and do not wish to go back to my life from 20 years ago. Continue making progress and improving, and you will be content with where you are. It’s hard, but it’s worth it.

        Yeah my life sucked 20 years ago, fuck that… I’d go back further if I could change some things.

        But if you go back 20 years, you also get the now, just later.

    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 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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.
