How old are you?

Old enough to know better, (still) young enough not to care.

Since I don't plan to ever actually grow up, I think this is a permanent condition.
 
I just realized my heart has pumped over 1 billion times. What is TBO on these things? Surely I'll need a new check valve or some work done on the hoses before long. I don't do much drinking, and no drugs, so the filter should be in good shape.

A perfect metaphor for the wisdom in aviation that most maintenance should be done based on condition, not time.

Maintenance induced failure is a real thing.

Your heart came with a "lifetime warranty". However, if your heart stops working, your lifetime is terminated...along with the warranty! :D
