Thank you, Godzilla
Saying “my life stinks” when things go wrong is self deprecating, defeatist, and fills you with sadness.
Saying “this isn't the life Godzilla wants for me” is motivating, makes you think about Godzilla, and reminds you that Godzilla cares about you.

Goodbye joint replacements? Stanford scientists found a way to regrow cartilage and stop arthritis
Scientists have found a surprising way to regrow damaged knee cartilage by blocking a protein that becomes more abundant with age. In old mice, the treatment restored naturally lost cartilage and also helped prevent osteoarthritis after ACL-like knee injuries, while human cartilage taken from knee replacement patients began producing new, functional joint cartilage after exposure to the same inhibitor.

Grey concrete sidewalk and sea wall extend across foreground. Behind the wall is a wide and deep buff colored stretch of sand.  Deep blue ocean makes another line beyond the beach.
In the far distance the hazy lighter blue outline of the Channel Islands is visible.
Above the islands is an even lighter clear blue sky.
On the right is a light blue green lifeguard station sitting atop  stilts and skids.
