Ever wish you could go back to like, age 11, and just... try again?
We can dream of being young or demonstrate the dream of how we feel old in the future so long as we're around and try to delay aging with meditation, exercise, and healthy choices now, but because science haven't got around to inventing "make me look young again" logic breaking potions yet. We can only try to delay the inevitable, but that's just it.
Speaking of age, my nanny who came to the US from an impoverished country around WWII I used to live with her years back before I have to move under a state order unrelated to her status is on the verge of natural death, can no longer speak English, and barely even move or talk. Used to be a nun before at some point in her home country and worked a few low-pay jobs. 2014 was my very first and last visit to the senior daycare center I remembered, of all the things I used to talk from childhood before she lost her bilingual ability. Once I get a notice coming from the daycare which might be in the near future, that is when there will be a tonne of debt putting a price on my family's heads, and getting out of debt will be even harder.
I have a worrying feeling from time to time that because she's been around long enough not realizing that Trump is in power, but since she is very old, she might dodge it by meeting with the reaper. Her future remains might not belong here, but back in her country where all the migration action is right now.
Years from now, my mom living with her husband, my dad, and my aunt who has been overweight for many years will all be next to get old, and I'll be last if we're still around after another world war, several elections, and through climate change. That, my mate, is how reality works, we live once, we have to endure fate with very little margin of error, and if we do it poorly or lived well off to whatever number that is old for our bodies, and then poof.
