TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS

  An old friend (in her late seventies) confided a few days ago that she felt ignored, insignificant, a nobody, and posed this question: "Is this how it feels when getting older?" -

I could have forwarded an answer to that. But decided not to. Because, I think, there is no single answer that would satisfy the questions running through her mind.

But I believe that we all have our own individual and diverse thoughts  on the subject.

There is a huge generation gap there. The old and the young. The young are just starting out with their lives. So much to do. Many dreams to fulfill. Expectations to pursue. Living out lives imagined with high hopes and creative imagination. 

And the old.... things are pretty much toned down, diminished in context and content. Yet strangely sated in different ways not everyone would truly understand.

Two different worlds. But they collide everyday. Lols ☺️

That's life ...... our world.😊
