For me, it’s disappearing. That someday something will happen to me and no one will ever know what it was and where I am. That I will become one of those mysteries you see online and on TV shows. Whenever I think about it I feel nothing but dread.

    Getting old. Because it’s like old people are just ignored. Nobody thinks they are good looking or interesting and they are mostly just tolerated, not appreciated.

    That in combination with body starting to break down is not a great feeling.

      I don’t know. Most people I work with and know think the elderly are fascinating since they have so many stories and some experience to learn from. My next door neighbor is in his 80s and I love chatting with him and his wife.

        Yeah but you are the exception, a bit wiser and emotionally mature than most. :)
