I think it makes sense to worry about getting old. I think the loss of dignity is more worrying than death; fears of incontinence and colostomy bags and degenerative mental diseases and joints that always hurt and so on... that's scary fucking stuff. And I think it's scary for most people, even if it does happen to everyone.

And I think hanging out with people of different ages is a great idea. I also think venting about this stuff isn't a bad thing. Just because people go through it doesn't mean it's suddenly invalid. I mean giving birth to babies happens to a lot of people, and it's still terrifying and crappy for a lot of women, y'know?
