>It's bizarre to me that people don't look after their health.
I'm 39 years old. Once my obligations in life are done, I'm putting a bullet through my brain. Probably just another 10 years or so this point.
It's of benefit to look after my own health but at the same time, why? By the time my poor life choices start catching up to me, it will be time to go anyways. If my health deteriorates before then, then I'll just shoot myself in the head sooner rather then later.
To me I'd rather enjoy what little time I have left indulging into a little hedonism then trying to plan for a future that doesn't exist.
The future holds an unknowable amount of discovery and joy, for both you and your children to find together; however bleak it may seem, I hope it's not out of line to say that there's one internet stranger rooting for you to see the light behind the trees. Personally, my life goal is to visit the moon. Why? Because fuck it, that's why. A slightly-more-sustainable, useful, and poetic goal than Everest, I suppose.
If you're gonna die anyway, why not make a mark on the world, do your weird personal thing that only you could do? You might not have a statue like Ozymandias, but in my humble, naive, and young (27) opinion, chances are likely that you'll be glad you did.
