Not are you ready to die. Are you emotionally prepared to die?

    Not all. Kudos to those who are, and deep condolences to those in this thread that have had such trauma that they seek it. But at 48 I’ve never felt more at ease with the world, and I simply don’t want to go.

    That said, I’m a fucking idiot. I drink too much most weekends, I overeat and I’m a light smoker/vaper.

    Yes I exercise, but nowhere near enough. I need to change, I know it. But I always retreat into excuses.

        I’m actually pretty comfortable in my skin, and with my family at this stage in my life. A few bumps on the road to get here, but never been as content as I am now. Of course family brings it’s own worries. I very much need to start working on myself health wise. The reckless almost nihilist attitude I had as a younger man has taken its toll. Hopefully I can correct things, but I’m leaving it pretty late at 48.
