    Being any age sucks and rules in equal measure, the things that suck or rule just kinda play musical chairs.

    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?

    I can't tell if my memory or ability to find words is getting worse because it's always been shit

    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

    I can't really complain about aging, it feels extremely ungrateful when I think about the people I know who died young.

    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)

    i have seen a lot of death in the past few years of my life, and times have been hard, and it's become obvious to me that the thing to do is to fill my time with the things that need to be done, to make hay while there's time, so i've really reinvested the time and energy i have now into my marriage and my art. i found what i love and i have learned devotion, because i don't want to reach the end of my life having left my love insufficiently loved and my dreams undreamt.

    Aging continues to feel great for me. My body actually feels better in its mid-thirties than it did in my late twenties (but I'm also not drinking a pint of liquor every other night).

    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...

    I was drinking too much soda so I gave it up (again), but for the last few days I've been kind of wanting one and debating if it had been long enough since breaking the habit that I could reasonably have one, occasionally, without it becoming an issue.
