My partner is terrified of getting old. I'm not too keen on the idea either but I think there's a unique beauty in the way humans a born fresh, experience, live, laugh, learn and grow and then age and grow old. The shortness of life encourages us to make the most of it, just as believing in something that we can't see gives us hope. We can't cheat death or avoid age so why fight it? Embrace it, enjoy it!
