i see and feel the signs: my metabolism has gotten slower, my memory is faltering, my eyesight is blurring, my muscles are less flexible, and my bones are less willing to bear weight. it takes longer for wounds to heal, and my blood pressure is no longer as stable. last week, i spotted a couple of white hairs. and i’m not even forty yet. has my body reached its half life already?

it’s not that i have an issue with getting old. i know how old i am and i do act my age. i know i’m past the party-til-4am-bar-hopping-wearing-barely-there-attire era. i think i lasted all of 2 weeks in that stage anyway, hehe. but i’m hoping this body will last a few decades more, before old age sets in and i’d need canes, incontinence products, or someone to remind me who i am and feed me mashed food.

on the other hand, i hope i never reach that point.
