Meh - the best parts of life are long gone - its all been down hill after 30 or so anyways, and quality of life is just going to sink faster and faster the older one gets.
Personally, I'm just hoping it's quick - with any luck I'll keel over to a heart attack or aneurysm. If I get hit with a cancer diagnosis, or any of those other horrific ones like multiple sclerosis, dementia, etc, then I've gotta get creative, lol.
Never understood that drive to survive, aside from the basic instinctual sense (which, admittedly, is powerful in the moment). We're all fighting a losing battle against entropy - with doctors, meds, diets, and lifestyle just throwing band-aid's on gaping wounds.
That said, good luck!

For me it's been to opposite. The older i've been getting the smarter i've been getting with health / training / taking supplements. I also don't do any drugs, i stopped that completely when i was like 35-40.
I feel way healthier and much happier in my 50's than how i felt when i was 30, it's really a night and day difference.
When you're 20 you can get away with almost anything, eating crap, not train, do drugs. You can't live like that after 30, well you can but life will suck, you will get sick, eventually your body will start hurting etc, no fuck that.
The difference after 30 is really you have to start taking care of yourself, no one else is going to do it for you. the sooner you start realizing that and start educating yourself about health / longevity the better.

Im pre-diab so need to stop drinking 1-2 liters of soda a day at 50 LOL..they say.
and hypertension. not bad, like 140 over 90, but too high they say..
I mean SOMETHINGS going to kill me one day, it can't be avoided. So why stop the things I enjoy in life to live more life, not doing any of the things I enjoy

Same here. I wake up with things hurting now, that if they did when I woke up in my 20's I would have went "Uh..this isn't good. I think I might need to see a doctor". Now its "Ah hell. One of those days...".
And agree with the drive to survive comment. I'm good to 'go' whenever. Kids grown and out, all the important shit of being a human to make more done, just sort of 'coasting' to the end.
Not that I want to die, just if I do tomorrow or 100 years from now, Im cool with it. I'm just hanging out in the lobby after the movie is over, so to speak, to me.
Birth is child abuse .
All birth is, is giving one more thing living consciousness so it can learn the inevitability of coming to terms with its consciousness, and everyone they know, will indeed die and cannot avoid it.

It's life you have, it's what you must concentrate on. Death is just like before you lived, a meaningless, blank slate, nothing much to ponder on. So yes, do things while you live that's a pretty good suggestion
I'm very boring, the concept of "so many things i want to do before i die". Eh, never really felt like that. I just want a safe life, a quiet life without too many issues (including health) where i can spend time doing my hobbies. Travel around the entire world or whatever, not for me at all.
It's never too late to change bad habits or unhealthy life style. It seems like people often feel "i'm too far gone, it's too late to change anyways." That's lazy and we know it.
Make changes and have something to look forward to; "in one year i will be so much stronger" (or whatever you decide to change.) Always make sure you have something to look forward to instead of just feeling decay, then getting older will just suck instead of being a journey into something better. For example I'm pretty sure i will be in my best shape ever in about a year, which will be pretty cool i think, i can laugh at my stupid youth and my infantile behavior, i've become better by age, not worse.

See I got the opposite problem, I know I can never be the best shape I ever been. My mid 20's early 30's doing construction I was thin, strong, had the stamina of a horse, ate anything, even the worst shit of gas station hot dogs and a 2 liter of mountain dew for lunch at work everyday. And was still told I was in 'perfect health'. I got lucky and got the gut of a goat...lol. I should be WAY fatter than I am at my age the way I eat and literally sit in a chair 14 hours a day. Not that Im in great shape, but pretty thin for my lifestyle now. In my 20's I couldn't gain weight trying..and I did try. I lived literally off pizza hut pizza for 3 years working there (that was ALL my food) still weighed 65ish kg back then.
So I know I can not ever be better than I was. And I despise exercise (I think 15 years of hard manual labor made me never want to strain and sweat voluntarily).
For me, it's a contradiction: Work out, strain, sweat, torture myself...so I can live longer and continue to do that so I can spend more time in-between doing it, to do other things..I can just do now without doing that shitty part. if I die in 10 years vs 20...or in 1 year, I won't miss not doing the things I like, as I am dead and not care about..well anything literally at all.
I'm not so much a nihilist on it, as it may sound. Just...apathetic? even that is a strong word. Uninterested maybe is the right word? I'm not 'done' with life, but I'm not unfinished either..if that makes sense.
But yea I'm with you on how to live the end. I dont want to 'do' anything specific before I die. I want to live a quiet, peaceful, no stress or time schedule life of just random whatever pedantic shit I want to do.
Like seeing things before I die? I HATE travelling (Why I hated my job when I started, I went fucking everywhere).
If someone told me: Name the place, We will send you there to the best hotel and all expenses paid for a month.
I would tell them: Can I get the cash equal instead, please?

Yes, you get away with that when you are young, we can eat garbage because we burn fat very easily, we build muscles very easy too. We can do drugs, our bodies are still young and unspoiled, it can take a beating.
You can absolutely be better, stronger even at old age but only if you want to of course. For me it's a hobby like anything else, competing with myself, it's like playing a game. i don't spend a ton of time on it either, i mean you can't, muscles breaks down, it needs rest to build up stronger.
yeah, i know what you mean with not being done but also not unfinished, but i mean i won't mind living to 100, but live to 100 and be sick? feeling shit maybe from 70-100, perhaps not being able to move properly etc, no fuck that.
I've watched a lot of training videos with really old farts haha, some are in their 80's and they're super fit and healthy. More muscles = prolonged life, but yes, anything can happen too, no one knows, i just know i might thank myself one day and it doesn't require much.

There are a lot of genetics behind a long healthy life. My guess is 50/50 between genetics and lifestyle. If you don't have the right genes, lifestyle can only take you so far and the risk of disease (non-lifestyle disease), body breaking down due to age etc. are still high even if you have a very healthy lifestyle. You DO increase QoL with a healthy life style though which is the most important thing.

yeah. both my parents are sick but they're now both 82+, grandparents lived to late 80's and into the 90+.
my father got blood cancer, no cure for it, just treatment which will prolong his life for hopefully many years. he still stick to old, unhealthy routines though.
mother was a smoker, so her lungs are garbage, can hardly move because it's just too tiring when you can't breathe. no cure either, but she has treatment..
"life is short" we say. i'd say life can be very, very long and painful too, you just won't be aware until you're there. i've seen that and it's not pretty. it's easy to say "well i'd just end it!" sure, easy to say, harder to actually do.

I'm in my early 30s and just got diagnosed with extremely high cholesterol. Contemplating starting on statins now, potentially for life, but some people's stories of the side effects have me leery.

I'm going to the hospital right now, kidney obstruction. May require surgery. Don't eat trash food like I did for the first half of last year, anxiety is a bitch.

Well, some of us have been here for 20+ years. That's a fucking generation! We are old.
Three weeks ago, I was hospitalized for a week with a deep neck bacterial infection… out of the fucking blue. They hospitalized me because they were afraid it could develop to abscess in the neck, abscess in the lungs or, worst, abscess in the brain But we caught it early, so antibiotics did their thing. Tomorrow going for a followup. While hospitalized, they were so perplexed at how this infection came to be, they did an HIV test just to be sure it's not that kind of immunocompromise. 🤦♂️
