As a teenager I could just sit and play video games listening to music or podcasts for 12hrs straight and feel no guilt from it.
Now everything I do, every 5 min I am asking myself if it is moving me forward toward a better life, and if the answer is no, I can't really enjoy it.
I'm so tired too maine. No matter how much sleep I get it is a struggle just to keep my eyes open, much less get done the stuff I need to get done every day. In the rare moments where I feel fully awake and lucid, it feels like even more of a waste not using them productively.
At just 22 I have accomplished what most don't until their 40s - constant fatigue and joint pain.
I look older too, even at 19 people guessed my age to be mid-late 20s. I've since then been using prescription skincare to youthmaxx, but it can only do so much; my facial fat has melted, and my orbital sockets have widened. The luster of youth is gone from my face, permanently.
Ageing fast is an incel trait for sure, and one of the more brutal.
I just want to turn back time maine.
