You don't really imagine it. But if you just keep on staying alive and living your life, day after day, well, you do that enough times and it happens to you. It come as a sneaking surprise, because you thought you'd feel like a different person but you don't really. You're just you, but with a bit more wear and tear. Don't think of older people as some kind of different species; they're a mirror of you in the future.

That's definitely true, I get that. I don't see old people as another species, I'm just in such bad shape I can't actually imagine it directly. But I also stopped being able to imagine my future very positively a long time ago after life punched me in the face enough times. Almost everything I imagined was wrong.

There's no one size fits all to getting old. Given the shape I'm already in and how my dad and mom are though, I don't have a lot of hope.
