I Am A Little Odd

Well, that’s what I’m told at least.

My friends and I got into the topic of “old age” or how we picture ourselves to be when we are old. And, being honest, and not just my morbid humor. I said
“I don’t want to reach 70, I can’t picture myself at that age, I would wish to die before then”

And I’m being honest. I have no aspirations to reach 70, I can’t see myself as that age, I can see myself as 30, 50, 60 even. But not 70. I don’t want to get there. I feel like I’d lived life by then, and plus I don’t want to get to an age where I am unable to do things that I love doing. That’s a horrible thing to imagine. I guess in my mind, I’ll do everything I wish to do before the age of 70, and I won’t have any other aspirations in life other than looking forward to death, and I’m not about to do that.
But then again, I don’t have a choice do I? I might as well die tomorrow, or in 80 years.

When I was your age, I could barely imagine being 30 let alone 70. Just let it all unfold.

I’m a thinker, I guess you could say. I can’t help but think of the future, even if it’s decades away.

@SabrinaL Nothing wrong with that but you’ll probably find that your thinking about many things will change as you grow older and add to your life experience.
Those are MY thoughts, too. I'm due to turn 70 in July.

I'm hoping by the time I'm old they'll either have suicide booths like Futurama, or suicide kits you can buy from the chemist, take home and off yourself with. That way when I'm all old and crippled I can go out peacefully in bed before I REALLY start losing my marbles or end up bed bound.
