on age
I think the worst thing I ever heard the opposite sex say to me was when comparing pictures of me new and old she said, "You looked alot nicer when you were younger!"
"Sigh!" making me feel old and ugly is NOT being very supportive! So I said nothing and simply carried on in my usual over patronizing ways! But that hurt! That really hurt and it sucked the life right out of me.
When I was younger I was always planning on this part of my life and now that I am here, what do I have? Nothing that I planned on, lol! Thats why I have a hard time to motivate myself to do the things I use to do such as run, go fishing, play tennis and basketball or do any of a hundred other things that use to bring me enjoyment. No wonder I suffer from depression!
In 1996, I ran a marathon....and finished!....despite having a runny nose and a bad cold on that day! Nowadays, if I get a cold, it's an excuse so I can stay home and do nothing, bringing rest but also more depression.
What am I to do? Continue to bask in the glory of what few accomplishments I have had in life, or set realistic goals so I can go out and make new memories?
Decisions, decisions!
Please don't tell me I am old and ugly, even if you have to lie!
