Do you ever get scared when you interact with teenagers? They remind me strongly of my mortality.

Because to them life is just beginning they have a long life ahead of them and they remind me that I’m nowhere near such a long life, I’m in the middle or even near the end. I don’t have kids, but if I did, I would probably freak out when they were teenagers. They think so differently than us, they don’t completely follow societies conventions yet, they’re like wild. And it freaks me out. Because I remember being that age. And it just really reminds me that I’m getting old. I never really think about it otherwise.

You could be one of the rare few that make it past 100. 👍👍

@Thevy29 let’s hope… but I drink beer and I smoke cigarettes and I hardly work out

@Ferise1 That's what Dick Van Dyke did. On his 100th birthday a few weeks ago he said if he knew he was going to live that long he would have taken better care of himself. 😅
