started noticing physical limitations way before 64, and i'm not talking big stuff. the little twinges that used to kick in after an hour of hiking or 20 minutes of cycling in the 40's come on a lot quicker at 55 and feel downright painful when i try to push through. Really gets me thinking what my physical limits will be by the time i can retire.
as far as living into the 80's & 90's, as long as there's someone to enjoy time or commiserate with, i think it's all cool. it's the people who are the last in line who have it worst - the ones who outlive their siblings, kids & friends - the ones who have no one close by geographically and interest wise who have to rely on strangers for stuff (meals on wheels, visiting caretakers, etc). that's gotta be the worst.
humanity definitely has a lot of flaws and it seems like evil has the upper hand - more so than i realized when i was younger & more optimistic. still, i try to stay positive even if its just about the little circle around me, right here, right now.
anyway, keep taking care of your body so it doesn't give out any sooner than it's meant to. hope you got some real life buds to rant with.
I gave up on friendship already
It's in the "fucking overrated bs" basket
