This song hits me hard. It's about living your life to the fullest before you get old, & I essentially entered old my senior years in my early 30s.
Various health issues have massively shortened my life expectancy & given me a bunch of symptoms commonly associated with old age.

"But maybe you touch one life
And the world becomes a better place to be
Maybe you give their dreams another day
Another chance to be free"
That's why I keep going, right there. My symptom profile is high octane nightmare fuel, but as long as I can make a difference, I have something to fight for.

A few months ago there was a protest on Roebling Bridge in Cincinnati.
Multiple people were beaten by officers.
One cop was put on “administrative leave”.
The people were protesting ICE kidnapping Ayman Soliman, a chaplain at the local children’s hospital.
He was detained for 73 days.

Sometime in the next few years at most, I'm probably going to die. And I refuse to go the long way as my body slowly suffocates me.
If I can swing it, I want to be a guest at my own wake. Go out after a party with my favorite people. Not too soon, though.

I don't want her to die in an unheated squat with no running water.
Please help me get her into a hotel or airbnb? She hasn't had heat or running water in weeks, severely exacerbating her medical issues.

With all the thinking I've done on death with dignity, I'm having a lot less trouble than expected coping with a dying loved one.

Last Monday, I experienced a kidney crisis like never before and nearly died.
This weekend, I had to medicate extra to cure a DVT leg as my entire right leg got several shades of purple due to the cold.
I barely sleep anymore from the extreme cold and humidity, I wake up every 10m with symptoms.

I don’t have a whole lot of advice for people younger than me but the earlier in life you stop worrying about what other people will think and just wholeheartedly enjoy the stuff you like the happier you’ll be
One thing people kind of tell you, but not really, about middle age:
One day you'll be like "oh [thing] looks fun but people will think I'm a loser" about a thing
And then you'll say. Wait a second.
Fuck 'em

We live in a cruel, unfair world. But there are good people doing good things all over, & "look for the helpers" is easy if you start by looking in the mirror.
Helpers tend to band together, after all. And activist communities run on earned respect.
