What truly sucks about life? (piefed.social)

The whole concept of not knowing what you've got until it's gone. Remember that song you used to hate hearing and now 20 some years later, you'd wish we'd be back to music like it because music today is too artificial and AI-powered? Remember nearly a lot of things you criticized and now have a soft spot for because everything now has gone to shit?

Yeah, that hits hard. What sucks is that sometimes, you don't know for certain if you're experiencing the best of things. But once it passes you, give it 1 - 5 years, you'll know it.

Mostly I love being physically embodied, I love seeing and feeling, eating, sex, lived being pregnant, I love having a physical body and consciousness.

What sucks to me is not necessarily physical decline - in general I've been able to handle what is thrown at me. I do hate time though. Hate the way we experience it in one direction. Hate the irreversible past that leads to the unavoidable future, it seems to just all be rolling out with no way to change it, every action came from some past action. Not just a big ship to turn, more like it will turn or it won't but we can't make anything happen that wasn't already going to happen. Our present the irreversible past of tomorrow's unavoidable future.
