Today, I feel old, yes indeed, today I actually feel like I should be sitting on a rocking chair on some porch sipping lemonade.

One thing for sure, as you age, long marathon days aren't as good for you, not that they were when younger, but when older notice it more.

Breaks are needed during the day for sure, especially if into labor type of job.

i look at and compare older pictures of self vs now, and do so to study how aging looks.

It has a lot to do with the skin, from what I can tell, skin and muscle tone in the face and other areas.

Cause I'm just as thin as I was a few years ago, but look older, and I'm trying to observe why that is.

I think when younger you just look more 'fuller'....vibrant, and again it's in the skin.

I mean cause can take exact same pose I did a few years ago, 5-10 years ago, but still look older.

Under the eyes I look older, and muscular structure of face just isn't as 'full'.

That's why you look different being thin at say 30, than you do looking thin at say 45, it's do to the skin and muscular tone.

How can that be solved or fixed, is the question.

Youth is just not something you can buy.

I haven't woke up feeling 'refreshed' in years, at least not on a regular basis.
Is that something that goes away with age?
Or is it more related to diet or happiness, family friends and love?

Is feeling refreshed in the morning a phycological thing or a physical thing? or a combo of it all?

I think it's a combo of it all.
The more loved you feel, and the more people you love, I think you just wake up feeling more zesty about life, than if just wake up with no one to plan the day with, no one to love, and waking up in a world where you're not loved by a single soul.

But you can't force anyone to love you.

I think it's why people instinctively create purpose for themselves in this world, it's why people buy stuff, buy new cars, get pregnant, seek out romance, all to never feel alone or without a purpose.

Lately I've been flirting with getting a new car, all in hopes that having a new car can revive me, make me enthused about getting up and out of my place again...but would it?

Or would I now just be paying 3-400 a month, and still just end up sitting at home alone...I don't know, my moods are so all over the place.

I mean if I had a new car sitting out in parking lot right now how would today be different?

Where would that car inspire me to go?

Or would it be like drinking, where as when you drink, sure you feel better momentarily to self, but others don't feel better about you.

Sure, if I had a new car, I'd feel better about self while in it, but others wouldn't.

I mean I see people get out of new cars every day, but it doesn't make me like them any more or less.

I see people, younger than me, more 'hood' than me, sloppier than me, get out of new cars all the time, but I still don't really like them or their personal style.

So I'm sure the same would apply to me, people who think they don't like me, still wouldn't like me, just because I had a newer car.
So the bottom line is getting a new car would be totally for 'self', to make self feel better, and not to make others feel better towards me.

But is that such a bad thing, to make self feel better?

It's really not actually.

When younger I tried doing things for others, no one accepted, g-d knows I tried, I wanted a family, I wanted friends, offered to help people go to college (still do), but no one responds, so why shouldn't I help self out now, and say screw others.

Cause basically everyone else has screwed me, hypothetically speaking.

So why shouldn't I now just totally focus on self.

What's scary is growing old in todays world and not being wealthy, that's what's scary.
