Everyone I know older than me is getting sick really quick.

All of a sudden I see a pattern of health issues among family, friends and partners.

It's scary because I'm good, but sooner or later everything comes to a head...Having had a health scare last year makes you realize how important health or being injury free is.

Sounds like some Old Man Bullshit:

But I've known waaaaaaaay more hurt and sickly YOUNG people than old usually.

Even on sites like VF/GM and GW...There's always these young pretty females or normal dudes and then you find out they're missing testicles or have some weird disease with a splash of IBS.

That's some spooky shit...Be healthy and strong then slowly watch yourself get weak.

Got news someone important to me has dementia and her husband isn't taking it well and so I wouldn't be surprised to see them both gone in 2-3 years.

I've worked dementia wards and it eats people up...I often say I would do myself in before I get to that point but saying and doing are two different things.

That's one of my three biggest fears...Losing my ability to process things, having my endorphines/serotonin and dopeamin levels drop or being injured and paralyzed.

Seen what happens in person and maaaaaaaan it's a terrible way to live.

One you lose yourself, all joy disappears unless highly medicated and you're just waiting to die.

Bit morbid I know, but I got the news yesterday and they're very lovely people...I'll stop by when I get back to the states...They were always very sweet to me and that won't be forgotten.
