had a similar thought today - 30 is now about as far away as 18

went to the doctor the other day because I wanted to get a crippled part of my body fixed
he just loled at me and said
> you're 23, there's nothing that can be done anymore

when I was 18 I thought I just had to aquire enough moeny, then could pay for surgery myself
now I have the money and I find out that all those years I have been running on copium

I miss being 16, still being able to think
> one day things will get better
