What scares me about growing old

[mischa04]

naku bro rychel07 mahirap nga yan, that's sad ang tumanda mag-isa..tapos may mga bad habits pa si partner.. siguro better talk to your partner about sa future nyo,.then decide if you're going to stick with her or just find someone else na  makakasama mo for life.. wag mo na lang awayin, just converse sincerely..

I am scared growing old na di na kasama ang husband ko. Ayaw ko talagang mauna siya kesa sa akin, di ko kakayanin.

[rychel07]

@ mischa04 : haha bro talaga sis? joke lang yung sa aawayin hehe. Pinagsasabihan ko naman na sya talaga na try to have a healthier lifestyle. Buti nga nabawasan na yung pag-smoke nya. dati super lakas nya mag-yosi. yung sa pagkain naman ang tinatry kong i-influence sa kanya na maging healthy. ang hilig sa coke tsaka junkfood. hay.

@ tabbru: naiisip ko din yan, na ayokong mauna sakin yung loved ones ko, lalo na mama ko, pero naiisip ko rin, kung ako mauna, kawawa din sila. sila yung malulungkot etc. la lang na-share ko lang. kaya minsan kahit imposible sinasabi ko na lang na sana sabay-sabay nalang kami mawala if ever. sobrang lungkot kasi maiwan.

@rychel07.. ay sori na misread ko, gf kc un nbsa ko kya kala ko ur a guy..hehe..sori! anyway, ganyan nga mahirap pigilan, the more na pipigilan mo eh lalo di ititigil..

[tsokolat]

tumandang mag-isa at walang savings..parang sobrang kawawa na ako nun

[rychel07]

sis mischa04: haha ok lang, natawa lang ako.

^ sabi ko nga sa mama ko, di kasi ako legal so secret yung samin ng gf ko. Told my mom na pinagpepray ko kay Lord na kung hindi man nya ako bibigyan ng asawa, atleast man lang gawin nya kong mayaman. para di naman ako kawawa.

[mischa04]

@rychel07, sis nice bargain kay lord ha..hehe..  imo, kahit maging mayaman kasi ang isang tao, in time magiging malungkot din sya lalo kung mag-isa lang.. hindi ka man mag-asawa o magkaron ng partner for life, sabi nga eh mag-anak ka na lang at least may mag-aalaga at makakasama ka pag tanda mo.. pwedeng mag-adopt kung ayaw mo ng idea na mape-preggy ka..pero if kaya naman mas maganda if own child mo..

[tsokolat]

^naiisip ko din yan pero hindi naman lahat ng anak aalagaan at sasamahan ka sa pagtanda mo. minsan nga maganda pa yung adopted pero case to case basis lang talaga. nasa pagpapalaki pa din

[rychel07]

mischa04: desperate thinking na kasi yung sakin lol. dati sabi ko kahit baby nalang kung wala talagang guy for me, eh kaya lang i'm not getting any younger, so parang unti-unti na ring nawawala yung hope ko. anyway, i have nothing against adopting pero di ko lang talaga yun naiisip. mas gusto ko talaga sakin galing yung baby ehhe.
yung sa about maging mayaman nalang, ang sakin lang, ayaw ko nalang maging dependent sa relatives, para kaya ko nalang maging self sufficient.

growing old alone I think is what scared me before about getting old

[cristyles]

For me it's okay if i have wrinkles and health problems, coz i can handle emotional and physical torture but what scares me is what my family would feel like if i have a disease or something. Hindi ko gusto yung may ibang nasasaktan dahil sa akin.

[nageinna]

same here takot din akong maiwan. takot din ako to live my life now without my husband. and im so scared to let go of my parents i grew up to be a family oriented person kasi so most of my happiness eh because of them talaga.

tumandang mag-isa at walang savings..parang sobrang kawawa na ako nun

me too... when my dad got sick, sobrang laki ng ginastos namin. buti na lang may savings sila ni mommy kundi baka baon na kami sa utang ngayon.

[Kady_14]

Ako, yung mukhang kawawa physically. Yung sagging skin, hiwalay hiwalay na ngipin. Mukhang amoy mabaho. Basta gusto ko i look lola groovy.

I am afraid of growing old

- poor (not able to afford my retirement, living expenses, needs, wants, luxuries, and help my dependents)

- ugly (getting fat, slow metabolism, wrinkles, cellulites, sagging parts, false teeth, freckles etc)

- unhealthy (like getting arthritis it would be painful to move, diabetic and not eat my favorite sweets, high blood/heart risk and not eat my favorite food, undergoing any kind of dialysis, being in a wheelchair or worse bed-ridden, being a vegetable that others need to take care of me)

maging walang silbi at mapuno ng wrinkles ang face.

[diamondsinthesky]

What scares me is the thought of growing old while not really growing up. There's a fine line between the two. As they put it, "growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional". I fear that I might grow old without realizing my true potential and living my life with a sense of fulfillment.
