That piece was absolutely da bomb. Loved it. I totally get where you are coming from — I shall be 79 in May and I hate it. Everyone is a freakin ageist these days. My own freakin partner is a freakin’ ageist.
Getting old sucks, and it was only yesterday that we were not old. I definitely recall that this aging crap came up very suddently out of nowhere.
I am a horticulturist and professional gardner, people often wonder why I wear full makeup while doing this job. I always tell them “because it makes me feel good” and it’s true. I shall not give up self improvement ‘til I croak.
Three cheers to you for continuing to try. Screw the naysayers.
