I want to make my own choices, just as I have in the rest of my life, right or wrong, they are my choices to make.
My biggest fear of getting old is, losing the ability to make my own decisions. I find it interesting these days that people are willing to give up their ability in order to feel a little more secure in a world where there is no such thing as security.
I hope my mind holds on til the very end. Like you I can not fathom why so many people have given up on making their own choices. What good is life when you only get to live it another persons whim.
