getting old is kind of terrifying.

I'm only 32. but now I think of the 22 year old version of myself who was a degenerate who would stay up until 5 in the morning, sleep until past noon, and do it all over again for 1-2 weeks at a time.

I can't even comprehend who that person is, they sound like an alien. but no, that was me.

When in my 20s-30s I considered that if I didn't see dawn, it was a lost day. In my 50's I owned a restaurant-bar. A few times I did an all nighter. It literally took me a week to recover. It's called aging.

every single time I got myself in that slump the only way to get out of it was to literally stay up for like 20 hours straight. I couldnt do it now, I'd pass out and nap
