old people


haha can't forget about the old people, cuz they're also cool cats =)




when i grow old, i wanna stay young at heart. im gonna be the weird grandma who still plays maplestory. keke =P

the senior population is often forgotten by today's society, despite being one of the fastest growing population. it makes me sad when i think of all the negative stereotypes that people have for seniors. "cranky" "smelly" "boring" "slow" "disabled" "old" "old fashioned" etc..etc..
i think there has to be some benefits to being old. you get senior discounts, you become wiser, you are accomplished and confident in who you are, retirement, having time for your hobbies, etc. im sure there are tons of old people out there who are content and happy with their lives. =)
we should stop "sympathizing" old people and "dreading" becoming old. instead we should change our mind sets on aging. i know i definitely need to work on that.
