I’m 65 years old now. While I have intrests that are usually associated with younger folk, I really am quite serious about life. Yes, I collect Comic Books, Toys, I ride Motorcycles & Scooters and play in a Band. A lot of people my age take this as being immature and treat me as such. That is when they get to see how serious I really am. As a adult, I try to maintain a Happy-Go-Lucky persona depite whatever is going on. Most older folk are too wrapped up in lifes problems that have accmulated over the years, I have to shrug them off. You see, I am alone and have been living as such for 25 years… So, I have to think & live differently. On the edge perhaps, but happy. I do have a very active and great support system of freinds and family. I suffer from Depression, Anxiety and a whole host of Physical problems. Diabetes & Heart Attacks top that list. Never mind that I am going Blind and go for injections into the whites of my eyes regularly… I have no choice to Carry On. Really. If I dont, I will die. My health is doing fine now but only becauce I take a shitload of meds, including 30 units af Insulin shot into my stomach every day. If after handling all of that sucessfully for 5 years now, I also have no choice to be serious and mature about it all. Phyiscal issues aside it is my basic happiness I hold sacred. I could easily jump into a Bottle of Booze or do Drugs to cope, but I am stronger and more mature than that. My life has seen so much death, Sadness and Troubles that I want no more, no how, no way. If a person or situation disturbs that hapiness, first I laugh at the attempt, then they get cut off, Instanly and permenantly. I dont fuck around and neither should anyone fuck with me. Please dont disturb my peace, if you can not find your own. I will always, no matter what, I will, Carry On… MM
