Maybe the only reason I look forward to being old is that I'll be able to pull shit like this.
The real reason to look forward to growing old is because the alternative sucks even harder :-)
That was more a self-deprecation than a dig at being old in general- I already have trouble remembering what I had for dinner yesterday, and my body/immune system has been my enemy since I was a teenager. I'm gonna be a hot mess when I'm old. Besides that, I'm pretty sure my parents are older than you are, lil, and they're way more active/relevant than I am. Age is a state of mind, perhaps? But hopefully my comment didn't come off as ageist or any other-ist. Sorry if it did!
the comment didn't come off as ageist, so much as sad. I don't know if one ever "looks forward" to being older -- and yes, the body gets older faster than any other part, but on the positive side: You feel vaguely smart because rather than "pulling shit" you don't have to put up with any shit from anyone unless you want to.
More on this another time.Maybe the only reason I look forward to being old is that I'll be able to pull shit like this.
