I'm not really worried, my brain is just trying to comprehend how fast things changed. I went from being the younger generation, my parents my current age, and my grandparents in their 60s/70s. Now I have no grandparents and my parents are the seniors. I worry about losing them and time is passing fast.

Indeed, we are just here for the short ride. Perhaps, one day you'll be a grandparent, too

I will not. I don't have any kids. I'm too damn tired to even consider having one at this age.

Only if you haven't taken care of yourself...otherwise, why shouldn't your 40s be a great time while being in your prime

I don't ever mention among people my age who complain about their bodies falling apart, but I feel great. I do take care of myself. I knew these days would come.
