I try not to think about old age. I’m 41 right now. I hope I make it to 50!

I have a theory on why we age. We age because we stop experiencing new things. Once that happens we are one step from the nursing home, and 2 steps from the grave.

Dammit, I knew I should have tried that pickles and ice cream weird combo that some people say is good.
Seriously though, my thread is obviously a bit tongue in cheek on expecting to stop aging. I obviously will take it as it comes. Honestly 30 didnt bother me, 40 didnt bother me. It’s only lately, the last 5 years or so, that I have really been noticing the signs of aging.

I am 40.
If we can make demands on the time gods today.
I’ll go back to 16 physically.
I’ll go back to 29 socially. Kiddo was just born. Wouldn’t want to miss him. Psychosis not yet started.
Psychologically I’d like a mixture of the undamaged mind of 7, with my current state.
These days aren’t too bad either. But I do want my body of before back. Sorry for complicating things, time gods.

I’d like my body at 30
and my mental state of 45.
Cant stop now though, too close at 54 to do
anything beside forge ahead and get it all over with. I figure I’ll probably last to about 75.

I’m only 25 and feel ancient. Guess from the stress of SZ.

I turn 39 this year and I’ve failed at everything people normally have done with their lives by now.
Got sick at 30 so it’s almost been ten years now.

I’ll officially be a pensioner in 2 days time. I’m still struggling to get back to pre fall level physically. My sister, who had a knee op, was told it could take 2 years to get back to normal level of mobility. Swollen legs have been a major issue recently. They’re going to do a doppler test re my having compression stockings.
I’ve never been one for going out much, but over the last 3+ years a combo of lower back pain,Covid, and the falls has meant I’ve done even less walking outside- much less! I’m frustrated because I want to go up and down the corridor with the stroller 3x in one go. Legs are willing to do so,but my arms ache too much after 2 goes.
Mentally I’m doing quite well . There’s some stubborn residual non bizarre paranoia. I’ve been thinking the woman with early dementia has been trying to get into my flat. It turns out it’s the door making a noise. It’s not constant. I’ve not come across a door like it before. It’s shut and locked ,so it’s hard to work out what’s going on with it.
Cognitively I’m doing OK. There’s the usual cognitive strengths and relative weaknesses. Manual/practical tasks have always been things I struggle with.

Is this the proper thread to place this gem of a tune?

When my Granny got into her 70s, she’d forget her age and pick a random number. Usually just a few years off.
I don’t know why y’all are all whining, though. Pick a number, and stick to your guns. I am 25 for the 14th year now. I’ll be 25 for the next year and the next.
