RE: Some Small Parts of a Long Walk

in Wednesday Walk2 years ago

Surely this is temporary. I was down for a year after doing Covid and had lost hope (haha...) but it passed.
Now I feel tired, that's why I've been working hard physically this month to check if I can still do it. I could but now I feel tired... but I really am old, next week I will be 69.
I think this winter will help us rest.

Sort:  

Definitely. I can already taste the immobility, locked in the house, trying to keep warm.
Damn Covid! Take care of yourself!
And I wish you a wonderful birthday! This is anyway the most important holiday in a person's life. 😊

Immobility, yes. Locking ourselves in our homes and trying to make our place as pleasant as possible, as long as we are left and as long as we each can.
Thanks for the wishes! I still can't believe I got here. In my head, it's a whole different age than in my bones.

Ha ha, I guess that's the case with everyone. We should probably be thankful that we've made it this far/wherever it is. But every time I find a white hair in my hair I say to myself: God, how did I get this far. I just can't accept it.
Well, I'm young. But I'm even younger at heart. 😄

Yes, you must be young and I think you're even younger at heart. That's what your writing shows!

Wow, that's interesting 🤔 I didn't know you could tell a person's age by their writing.
I hope I don't sound like a shallow person or anything 😄
Have a pleasant weekend!

Thank you. Same to you!
I can't guess without error, of course. That's how I like to think I can understand something about the writer, from what he writes and how he writes. Old people are bland and bored, but that's not necessarily so. Now that I think about it, I realize I've been wrong many times.

Old people are bland and bored

A lot can be argued here and this conversation will become endless. Because of my pessimism or rather realism, I rather thought people perceive me as a very old person. Of course, I try to express it within limits. I try to veil it in every way. 😄 Such is our world today.
For my part, I thought you were much younger. At least 15+ years less from what you say. Not because I can't judge correctly from what you write. It was just a feeling.
Well, of course, I make mistakes too sometimes. 😊
