My mortality! Hit 45 this year and it kinda feels like it’s all downhill from here.
Health is ok but that seems tenuous as I’m pretty out of shape so I feel like I’m not “set up” yet to be a healthy older person. When something does go wrong I’m not sure if I should worry about getting it treated or just live with it.
It seems futile to learn new skills and such since I’m not sure about the payoff (ROI).
Family/kids/job/money are all pretty great so I don’t have anything to complain about, but I’m still kind of feeling like I’m about to crest the hill of life and want to ensure I’m making the best of it and prepared for my eventual demise.
I don’t want to die! I really like being alive and kind of wish I had immortality (with a safety kill switch of course so I don’t have to endure the heat-death of the universe or get stuck inside a star somewhere lol)
I’m turning 45 as well. It’s actually a perfect time to learn something new. My interests have changed in 25 years. I no longer climb mountains, bike 200 miles a weekend or so anything too destructive. I’ve taken up woodworking and just got a kiln to learn pottery. I hope in another 20 years I will be a master of both and they will keep my mind healthy.

I already hit 50 and been in similar thoughts. It sucks just that you start thinking about it.
