Aging

I wrote this text, then deleted it, and after that recreated. It's so embarrassing being sincere but I don't know what other topic I should write about. If I decide to discuss topics that are uninteresting or not related to me, I will certainly quit writing. I can't allow that to happen, because I really want to improve my English. Well...

I'm getting older. My birthday is coming. It means that a third of my life is over. I would rather stop aging, but, unfortunately, nobody can do that. So I have to look in the mirror and notice how wrinkles appear on my face. I should do some facial exercises every day... The sooner, the better.

Besides, I've decided to achieve a goal in learning English to avoid self-doubt on my birthday. "I wish I could... I wish I were more..."—I don't want to whine like this on my birthday. At least I will have one significant accomplishment if I start working on it right now.

I'm also thinking about my habits lately. I'm going to develop some healthy habits and break bad ones. For example, I always go to bed later than I should. It's so annoying. I need to change that.

The third thing I'm going to do before my birthday is go to the doctor for a checkup. To be honest, I hate hospitals. Nobody likes going to the dentist, do they? However, a checkup and timely treatment are just the price you have to pay for being healthy. It's worth it.

The fourth "todo" is to make peace with myself. Pessimistic thoughts are getting on my nerves because it's like a radio I can't turn off. Maybe it's not that bad now; it used to be worse... But I would rather live without anxiety. I would like to be more supportive and optimistic instead. It's unlikely that I'll have achieved this by my birthday, but at least I can start seeing a psychologist.

So many things to do. Most of them are about health. It's so predictable to worry about this when you get older. Even if you are still young.
