    The weight of experience.

    The heartbreaks, failures, disappointments, and losses you experience in your youth accrue and do permanent damage over time. Also, everything you loved in your youth will be unrecognizably different or gone completely within 20-30 years. (Which is why I recommend people get in the habit of journaling.)

    Also, you won’t digest food as well as you age and your digestion’s going to get weird.

        It’s quite the opposite for me. It can have a delay of half an hour to a few hours, but eventually my digestion goes:

        🚨 🚨 🚨 Lactose detected. 🚨🚨🚨

      I developed a pineapple allergy late in life. Not sure if it was due to COVID or aging but if I eat pineapple now, my tongue gets a bunch of circular sores that last for days.
