    I’m pretty genetically unlucky. That’s why I’ve paid attention to my diet and staying active. It was something doctors told me quite early in the journey, and they were right. Taking care of oneself goes a very long way. Years and years.

    A big part of it is listening to your body and pushing the limits without actually breaking it, so it gets higher. If your knees are hurting, stop. Take care of them. You’ve only got two and if you push them, they’ll die young while the rest of you has plenty more years to give but can’t now because some shit broke, so they decay too.

    If you want to be more active, focus on your inactive parts for sake of the rest of the parts. They’ll tell you when to stop, and listen. But each time they’ll get a bit better than the last, or you’ll figure out a way to compensate for them.

    It’s as simple as taking care of yourself as soon as possible. Otherwise, as time goes on, you only damage yourself either through negligence or apathy.

    Don’t neglect yourself.
