I'd like to prove that if you take care of yourself, you can actually not regret the fact that you've become an old-timer, but you can just still improve and actually get better.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The fact is I still have quite a few good years in front of me. I still improve.
As you get older, you're always maturing, you're always learning something new about yourself.
I always stayed in tune with my own ambitions and attitudes and I'm still my intractable old self, for better or worse.
You don't get older, you get better.
I'm good with getting older because I feel like, one day, I know I will love myself.
When I was younger, I was more self-conscious about living up to or surpassing the expectations of others. But as you get older, you start to build confidence.
Now people live into their 90s and beyond. As long as I have quality of life, I'm good.
I still enjoy my life, and I feel like I've achieved enough things that if I never did anything again, I'd feel confident that I'd still have made my mark in some way. But maybe the self-loathing bit is the element that makes you strive for more. Makes you strive to be better.
As you get older, you either become proactive about staying in shape and taking care of yourself, or, you know, time has its effect on you.
You don't get better as you get older in your career. It's not natural to have your best years late in your career. So I'm trying to do whatever I can to keep my body feeling good for as long as I can.
