I'm older
Don't worry, getting older means getting closer to death.
death is inevitable and utmost elusive ... the older you get the more you realize how transient this life is and death awaits you all the same no matter the age
the way i look at it is everyone's instance of death is their metaphorical "old age of death" aka the limit their life has reached... like a 30 yr old dying is metaphorically someone who now is too old to live for evolution to do its number and end him decades later
If evolution doesn't end you then life will with eventualities and consequences of your actions or just misfortune
as elusive, regretful, and gloomy it seems like....it bitterly remains the only thing guaranteed in life.. does a pleasant death exist? idk, i reckon what gives a period "." its disposition and authority its character is the tale that precedes it.
