Your body just… wears out

I remember as a child in the 90s a standup comedian talking about when he went to the doctor, they had started telling him that “after a while parts of your body just wear out.” And I thought, what a weird circumstance to be in. Now I have reached that age. Parts of my body are starting to wear out. My teeth, for example. Despite years of dutiful brushing and flossing, several of my front teeth are simply wearing out due to decades of grinding in my sleep. One of them already split in half and had to be capped, and two others are on their way out.
