Well at least you're taller than I am. I'm 37 and five feet tall, and have been since High School. I'm not going to be growing any taller either. But, it's something that I accepted about myself a long time ago.

Truth 1: There's a high likelihood that you will end up miserable in your last few years alive. Disease and illness could rob you of your mobility, your eyesight, your hearing, your ability to speak and think, the memories you've made your entire life, all the knowledge and skills you've amassed, and your freedom. At best, you'd have a supportive family who will provide decent care for you and at worst, you'll be left in a nursing home at the mercy of your care providers. You could be forced to live indefinitely through TPN/GT regardless of your quality of life. Every moment you spend awake could be in complete agony from the festering ulcers, growing tumors, or impaired respiratory function. There are so many things that could go wrong and if you live long enough, you'll certainly end up with a few of them.

Truth 2: Look at the people around you that you love. Chances are, you'll see a lot of them die one day. That's plenty of funerals to attend and more days spent in emotional anguish. It might be in a day, a month, a year or 50. What's guaranteed is that either you die first or they do one after another.

Truth 3: People will sacrifice almost anything to share a moment with someone they've lost but more often than not, they forget to savor those very moments while the person is still around. Humans can become petty and sometimes allow insignificant matters to ruin lifelong relationships with others.
