I had friends who didn’t even make it to 30. If the price of not dying young is watching all the things you loved become obscure then I’m okay with that. There’s worse things than growing old.
Also, there’s something really special about a young person discovering something from your golden age and finding it interesting. Some of the kids in my life are getting into retro computing and electronics and being able to share that with them is awesome. Plus you get to cop that whole “I was there Gandalf” vibe.
We got to live through some cool stuff. We’re old and dusty but now we get to educate the youngings.
Good!
