Maybe. Senility happens gradually, though; which is why the suicide rate is so low.
Parkinson's is interesting. Partly because it doesn't kill you; just fucks you royally. Can't walk, can't write, can't phone, can't click the mouse. Nice.
It would kind of freak me out and really depress me if I turned 20. It would freak me out because I'm about to turn 24. It will depress me because I wouldn't be able to buy alcohol anymore.
Time seems to have sped up since I was 18, but I've done more in the past 6 years than what I did in the first 18.
I don't think I have an age... I do however miss 16... granted that was 10 years ago and I am sure I am remembering it to be much better than it actually was. But as for an age I fear... I guess the typical answer would be like 30 or 40 but I am pretty indifferent.
I turn thirty two this coming Sunday. I haven't embraced many of the social conventions which we all feel compelled to adopt during our lifetime. But I'm comfortable with who I am. I spent most of my late teens and early twenties finding my identity. And for that particular reason I wouldn't want to revisit that period. I don't fear old age. But there are things I wish I could still enjoy, like skating for instance. I miss the sense of community more than anything else. It's socially unacceptable to pursue this pastime beyond your twenties. I'm no longer brave enough to challenge this precept. Idealism and naivety has faded with the onset of old age.
we've been every age, the memories echo in full motion picture, it's just that we often like to forget, take a break, let the house work things out for a change, knowing it will all work out as planned in courageous and ever-giving collaboration

That age. That's the age I'm scared to become.
The age where you become an internet nonsense troll?

I just don't want to let the house work things out for a change. I try that all the time. It results in a messy house.
I'm not really worried about any specific age. The one thing about aging that really worries me is the thought that one day, I'll go senile and won't remember who I am or what my life has been. The thought of losing myself, of being "dead" long before my body finally stops working is the thing that scares me the most.
not really worried about age, i think too many people do. I dont think the number matters too much it is all how you feel and as long as you take care of yourself and try to stay healthy the number shouldnt matter too much. With my job I see people of all ages die so it just makes me want to go out and live life and not worry about a number.
