I turned 43 this year, and my kid’s going on 1 and a half. The next 20-some-odd years of my life are going to be tough to top, there’s going to be a lot of competition for the “sarukun’s best year” top spot. The biggest bummer is going to be not being around to see more of my little girl’s life. I would absolutely spend a good chunk of the beginning of eternity just watchin’ my kid and wishing I could pitch in during the hard times… but I left my faith in afterlives behind quite a while back.
I think the best way to address the finitude of it all is just gratitude. So many of us deserve so much more, but none of it was ever guaranteed to begin with. I still worry that my daughter will get got by SIDS and that it’ll all be over too soon. I want more but I’ve already gotten to do so much, I can’t argue for it with a straight face. Gratitude and a commitment to make the world a better place for the ones that come after. We just watched the Boomers fuck that all up, some pretty good cautionary tales and guidelines to follow, I aim to make sure my little know knows not only how we got to where we are but to learn to pay attention to where she’s at and what might be coming down the pipe. I hope it makes a difference, but at the end of the day I’m just a little stick tumbling along with the white water, and it’s been an awfully fun ride. Not everybody gets to say that, so what else can I do but be thankful that I was lucky and try to set things up for the ones next in line?
A problem I have of late because of the brutal days of work I have no idea how to say certain words
I can see them in my head or read them but how to say them is just frustrating
As for how to deal with the fear of grief, decrepitude, and inevitable nonexistence... Mostly just try to soak in individual moments as much as possible and appreciate them while I can. Which is a fancy, wise-sounding way of saying I ignore it.
(For my actual serious answer, I find reading Letters From a Stoic by Seneca really helpful, it is my comfort book I go to when shit gets hard)

Straightzi and I are simply part of a fraternity of chosen warriors, biding our time until the Quickening.
I would say the one signifier of old age that has stood out though, as Hacksaw mentioned above, is that its taking longer and longer for me to recover from colds & flus.
But my students (and coworkers) continue to think I am 24 years-old, so, well...
it’s soda time, after all

We just can’t see eye to eye on anything, it’s true.

this isn’t a thread to become divided about what it’s called, this is a thread to unite
They help get rid of headaches though.
