Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
The best description I’ve ever heard about getting very old, it’s like being in a nice hot shower all your life and as you near the end, they just keep slowly turning off the hot water until you’re miserable. We just kinda fall apart in old age. The only future you’re looking forward to is your family reaching their own milestones, unless you’re financially prepared, your income dwindles. I’m sure it’s not like that for everyone, but at least in my circles, panel for is more like “I’m scared, but you know it’s about time”
one thing that I hope will help is building skills in hobbies that are easy on the body. painting, playing an instrument, writing, etc
too many people seem to fall into idle entertainment like TV or tablet games, which don’t offer much of a reason to get up in the morning
