Getting old

...puff the magic dragon...

i still love that song and the movie

 

My husband will be 33 in August, my mom is 52, my dad 53. Ouch.

 

I know, I was just thinking how it seemed like this month has positively flown by, just like last month too, and I think, geez oh man, slow down already!

 

actually, the only time that goes slowly for me is summer...other than that, the rest of the year flies by.

its wierd, but lucky that it feels that way haha

 

If it's any comfort to anyone the average life expectancy of (let's say) the people and culture which built stonehenge was 31 years old

The average life expectancy of someone born today is around 90 depending on which study you read

Growing old has never bothered me, but... I'm still young. I don't think I'm qualified to answer this question.

 

i'm afraid of getting older
it bothers me so much i'm almost paranoid
though i know it's so silly
just do not know how to handle

 

well it isn't worth dieing young to avoid and i'm certainly glad i didn't.
die young that is. 'getting old' for me is sort of a 2/3 fate accompli.
not that i wasn't born old to begin with.

i mean when 2/3 of the people of workforce age weren't even born yet when the major events that shaped your own adolescence and early adult life took place, 'getting' old is kind of a 'say what?'/wtf?

man on the moon, woodstock, viet nam, the kennidy assassination, all of those took place before my 21st birthday. and these personal computers like we have now, didn't come along until i was in my 30s. the internet, arpa net going public and becoming the internet, i was damd near 40!

it would be nice if we could all have 12year old bodies until well into our 80s like in anime. but i wouldn't want to give up the excuse aging gives my predisposition to sedentaryism.

I don't expect to get old. "Old" is a mentality, same as "young". I intend to be "me" forever.

 

i'm not, ask me again in 30 years time!
