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.

My dad's dad and two of my dad's brothers died of cancer, so it looks like the genetic odds are stacked against the male side of my family. And my mum died of vascular dementia. So I'm not quite sure whether my old age is going to be cut brutally short or nosedive into a horrible decline. You've just got to try to keep yourself as healthy as you can, for as long as you can -- if you can.
