I take pride in the marks I get from doing work

You can have pride in that and still attempt to do things somewhat safely so you don't destroy your body in the process.

I was once in your shoes. You don't want to be 40 with the body of a 60 year old, trust me. The aches and pain don't get better, and wounds don't heal as fast as you get older. Earlier this year, I had a minor cut take almost a month to heal up.

I see where your coming from but tbh I'm tryna go out fast personally.
