When did I stop being 26 and unstoppable?
I do not remember exactly when it changed because things like this never happen all at once and maybe that is why it becomes so difficult to notice while it is happening, because one year becomes another and life keeps moving and work keeps demanding things from you and suddenly you wake up one morning with medication beside the coffee machine and realize that somewhere along the way your body stopped quietly cooperating with the life you built around stress, bad sleep, too much sitting still and the constant idea that you would eventually take care of yourself later when there was more time.
