Getting older is fine. You make better choices, you are wiser, there is less uncertainty and more confidence, there is more contentedness, less anxiety. A lot more of the physical and material comforts get taken care of over time. Many of the emotional comforts do to as you find the right person and grow in a relationship. Thngs fall into place as you get older.

So it's not getting old that sucks, it's getting aged. Your neck hurts, your back hurts, your foot hurts, your knee hurts, your teeth hurt. Your hands don't grip, you can't run very fast, you can't stay out in the sun very long, your dick doesn't get as hard, you can't read the phonebook, you can't hear the conversation, you can't eat spicy food, you can't stay up late. You get tired.

So over time it may be that things fall into place, but you fall apart.
