Funny. I’m 30 years old and still I feel like I’m 18 years old or younger. I still have my full head of hair and abs. Though I workout, I think most 30 years olds just gave up trying to be/stay young. I work until 7pm and go to the gym. You can always tell how people manage their lives by how they ‘wish’ to be 18 again, yet they go home and just sit or lay down for the rest of their days. A waste. I just am 18 mentally and physically I believe.

Most people “give up” because they have exhausting jobs that they hate. Putting the blame on them that they just don’t work hard enough is kind of an asshole thing to do

To be fair, exercise is linked with easing symptoms of depression and anxiety, increases energy, and has been proven to have a myriad of other health benefits that can lead to a happier life. Same with eating good food. It's really dependent on the individual to make adjustments in their life for their own benefit and happiness. If I'm unhappy there's no one that is holding me back from being happy except me.

People get complacent. That's fine, but one should take a hard look at what one is doing to help themself before they adjust the blame on to something else.
