I’m afraid of getting old
My doctor told me: ‘Congratulations!!! You will live a long life.’Then I thought if that was a good or a bad news.
Happens that I have been taking conscious about what might expect from the future.
I have recently found there is a kind of elder discrimination, even from those who are already old.
Some woman told me: ‘old men smell old’. That is the first time I hear that
Another woman told me: ‘old men bound to have prostate issues; I don’t want to involve with’
Plus all calamities you will find according you are getting older.
So my thought still is: is it worth to have a long life?

Besides, "old" is relative.
It's 20 years older than whatever the other person is.
When I was 6, 26 was very old.
Don't be afraid of getting old. Don't let the numbers scare you. You live your life, keep young at heart
But you can still have a lot of fun even when you are old
Weighing the "old" smell and other minor inconveniences against the possibility of hearing my monitor let out that final long "BeeeeeeeeeeP" rather than the happy little series of beeps.......
I'll take getting older over a beautiful memorial service anytime! Bring on 70!!!!
