This recent change in me?

i used to say i wanted to live to at least 84 years old. but within this last week, i almost hope to die younger than that, like 70 years old or so. it just seems like my life will suck when im older being all alone. so with that my only reason for not smoking is to not experience a painful death. every time i talk to my pdoc, he asks if i have been feeling suicidal, which i havent, but now im going to tell him that living to an old age no longer seems appealing to me.

If you have a strong will to survive, then it’ll be with you at 70 too. At 70 you’ll want to keep going. And why shouldn’t you?

yeah im losing my will to live. i’ve also thought well i lived a full adventorous life and now my new reality of having to work sucks, and it’s not appealing to me. i just want to be reborn and to be young again. i want to live but i don’t want to get too old to care for myself. i don’t know, i don’t know what i want.

I only want to live to be 70. I don’t want to work for the rest of my life or be too old to take care of myself.

I’m the complete opposite. I want to live beyond 70 but at this rate it’s not very likely.

My mom once told me that my life will start at 50. She will be 80 by then. Part of my duty as a son is to look after parents, even if it means sacrificing some of my own wants. If life starts at 50 for me, I’d like to live to a ripe, old age.
