"becoming okay with getting old" hits hard for me
and yea. realising one day you feel alive, and not quite knowing when it started exactly but knowing why and knowing you wouldn't give it up for anything in this world
taking what you need to be happy. being told it's wrong. knowing it's right, the most right thing you've ever done in your life.
@darkphoenix Aaaaaaaahhhh, this post and your comments are gonna make me cry at work ​
Too relatable.

@darkphoenix

yeah

honestly? hitting my mid-30s and seeing my hairline start to drift was one of the kicks-in-the-ass I got from fate

I didn't want to grow old. I mean, in the man way. women? goddesses as they age. beautiful.

anyway I felt like it was all downhill from there and I'd already experienced the best of my life

I had a meh marriage, an okay job, a house, two cats and two cars and a life insurance policy and a respectable civic life and ... okay not that many friends. but that's okay

I legitimately remember sitting in my chair, looking at the ceiling, thinking of everything I had and the life I was living and thinking "is this all there is?"

well as it turns out

@darkphoenix that's the hardest sometimes ​
@darkphoenix ngl im still down with immortalism
@darkphoenix for me not wanting to die is very normal, and something to fight for
@darkphoenix like wrinkles whatever ig but pain, frailty and death, fuck no
