lol well my consumption habits aren't what they used to be. My consumption these days is more to take the edge off of life rather than getting completely face wasted and doing lots of partying. Back when I was getting completely twacked she was doing the same so it worked out fine |

| i only smoke now...and my woman encourages me to do this because well a sober person watching a pot head can be entertaining. Especially when i decide to eat weird things at all hours. |

I asked myself why. Why would someone question their life? Why do we get old? Why do we become a shell of our former selves when we age? Why? Why? Why? In that moment i lost a part of my innocence and would be changed forever. *cue: The Mommas and The Pappas California Dreaming* |

you're married? :wtf:
you learn something new every day i suppose.
honestly... old age feels so far away for me right now that i can't even imagine realistically what it will be like, therefore i can't fear it (or maybe that's just a defense mechanism).
i'll be 25 next month but sometimes i still feel like i'm 18. i haven't really gone through any major events (such as losing family members or close friends due to old age) that snap the attitude of "life is so short" into my head... and my mom is 61 going on 35, so that alone just gives me a positive attitude about what my life will be like when i'm her age.
i have issues with planning for the future, goals, and expectations. i find it somewhat useless since i can never predict what's going to happen. |

| it can happen quick lucid. *knock on wood*. At 61 my grandmother was in amazing shape, and we lost her this week(68). Enjoy every single moment you get with family, it makes the blow much easier to deal with. |

yeah, i guess i came off sounding a bit naive or oblivious in my post which wasn't really my intention.
i definitely do cherish every moment i get with my family... especially because i only see them a few times per year. it's also a big part of the reason why i want to move back to NY after i'm done with school next year. as i get older, i realize that spending time with her takes precedence over living wherever i want.
my deepest condolences for the loss of your grandmother. |

thanks myra.
we were very lucky to be able to make our peace in her final moments. You are not being naive, and it is great to keep a close relationship with your family. |
