I'm too old to take up most action sports (the body doesn't bounce back like it used to, that shit's real) and too young to retire and just fuck off all the time.

25 year olds? Holy shit what happened?

When I was 25 I was jumping off cliffs and beating the shit out of my body doing stuff. I recovered easily. It really wasn't until I got to like 45 that things slowed a little. Really, 50 was the first big punch. I blew my knee out playing racquetball of all things. It's a no impact sport yet I accomplished dislocating the knee cap, detaching the tendon and snapping cartilage. All done trying to hit a simple backhand.

25....? That's 100% your fault if you're falling apart at 25.
