Aging

Growing old is by far my greatest fear. I could never imagine myself in ten or thirty years. And it scares me. Aging is the most immense sin mankind can ever commit. It's almost like giving up on yourself, waking one day to find all those wrinkles, sags, and spidery veins draped all over your translucent skin. An epiphany in a way, never noticing the aches or fatigue or sadness. I think that's why aging scares me the most. It's because it's a slow, savory murderer. Not taking us out with a bang but with a whimper.
