I'm 42, overweight, and poor. I'm an elderly middle-aged person who's maybe got 20-25 years to go.
41 but If I go another 20 with my stress ima be amazed.
The way you put it like that sounds so crass and soulless.
It’s true though.
It's just really hard to talk about expected lifetimes and not sound that way.
What should it be, then?
Something like, "I'm alive, in fairly good health, and I do not define my value by how much I'm able to work or how many years I have left to live."
Sounds delusional.
