I want to share my perspective on anti-aging—specifically, how I’ve come to understand it—by breaking it down into four different approaches: Hiding it, Cutting it, Swallowing it, or Preventing it.

I have only 28 years left to live!
Trying to explain just how bad my relentless worrying has become over the years is difficult. As a child, I spent most of my time worrying about having a brain haemorrhage because my sister’s best friend had one, or choking to death on a chicken bone because I once got one caught in my throat during a Sunday roast.

Living light: what to keep vs everything else
Looking around the room, I marvelled at the effort I've made so far. The books that have been stuffed into cavities of the book shelves, some upright, some slanting across the tops of the upright books and some others lay in stacks, one on top of another, in the remaining real estate that the depth of the bookshelf could afford. On the floor, two piles of books create a small tower halfway up my legs. Not so tall, given that I used to have book towers that extend from floor to ceiling. Once upon a time, the bookshelf, contained only books but now they host a jar of korean-style cultery, a big mug of brushes and pencils, a small glass of medicines ranging from gastric to headache solutions. There were other vials and bottles and containers, all of them seemingly put to good use. At least, that's what I think, since I haven't been able to get rid of them yet. Later, I say to myself. Later, the ultimate solution to worry and action. Having said that, somethings have changed. Upon unpacking this time, I managed to clear the luggage of its contents in one fell swoop, instead of letting it lay on the floor for days until I can figure out which article goes where in my present life, in the room I presently occupy which is not truly my own. Unlike myself, I simply decided that I would clear the bag and hoist it, empty and light, up above the closet where it is technically although not literally out of sight, yet effectively out of mind.

Staying Awake During a Colonoscopy Is Not for the Faint-Hearted
When I went for an annual physical in November of 2023, little did I know it would turn up a common heart irregularity that would lead me to discover a cancerous tumor on my colon the size of an egg.

More Feline, Less Canine
I’ve got a significant birthday coming up. I am what they call an elder millennial. My algorithm likes to pepper my feed with memes about women of a certain age who stopped giving a fuck about what other people think about them. And I must say, it’s very appealing. As a recovering people pleaser, I have an unfortunate abundance of fucks. I’m looking forward to the moment when my fucks run out.
