I guess we all want to change the world when we/'/re young. When we grow up, some of us get jaded.
If each of us did our own part, maybe we could change the world.

This was a great write.

I get what you are saying. I was and still am enthused about the environment but its getting harder to put up with the idiots. I am 55 and am thinking why bother, i have no kids, my wife is dead and no family. i have maybe 25 yrs left if a i am really lucky. Shoulds I stress over the environment when it is not going to affect me.
Terrible way to think but that/'/s it.

some times it seems like every day is exactly the same
I feel the same way exhausted and tired
and slowly losing thoughts of.....what to do.

We start out slow and unsteady on our feet...and we come full circle.
School teaches us to be grown ups, but no one teaches us how to be old. Some are very successful at it.
Some find it depressing. I call it Post Traumatic Retirement Syndrome, and we need a transitional class on
what to do with our lives when we can/'/t bungie jump anymore.
Everyone looks forward to retirement. What they dont figure on is getting old.--Lets be kind and not tell them.

//I have been there. I am trying to fight it. I am trying to save money and fight that price.

Stay strong, bro.
