The shittiest feeling

😑 The only useless emotion. Apathy. I have said this before but it bears repeating. The reason apathy is the scariest of emotions is that it is a zero-charge feeling. Elation and ecstasy are positive-charge while depression and anxiety are negative-charge. So long as there is a charge, electricity (action) can spark. 🍎 Andrew's Take. Think of performance artists (musicians, athletes, dancers)... do they perform at the highest level when dwelling in a state of indifference? A little Charlie Brown shrug and off to the battlefield? Lol! No. Fueled by rage and sadness and potential and a hammered heart, they zigzag upward. Forever away from that seductive voice that says "it is what it is..." Nah. I would rather practice my messiah impression than that of a common coward.

👴🏻 Thoughts on getting older. Good essay here on turning 45 years old. In general, for men 28-35 is his primetime. You have some heartache and the resulting confidence, and you have some change in your pocket. Aim to clock in AS MUCH exercise time and reading time before you start your 40s. Studies show cognitive decline is very real. You recall a book you read in high school or college but not the one you read last week? Exactly my point. Breathe hard. Lift heavy. Stretch. Drink water. Sleep without booze in the system. Ages 50 and 70, respectively, are "biological cliffs," so be wary. 🍎 Andrew's Take. I am 30 and admittedly feel the energy of a 22 year old. But I know this will not last. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, though, my objective is to live joyfully, violently, and ferociously — this is the closest to an antidote to aging there is, that mother of all diseases.
