I remember before when I was still groovy and fun-filled human being, it's not that I am not now. Lol, 
Let me say I'm not that active type of human being anymore because of my illness but as much as possible I tried to be as lively as I can be.
Before, I don't want to get old. I don't want to get wrinkles or white hair. Most of the people will tell me, I don't look like my age. I'm 34 and someone will still be mistaken me for 25. Is that cool? Is it a compliment to me? Maybe.
I was chatting with @thelme55 and she gave me ideas on what to discuss here.
And I am thankful. She too wants me to get old so that I can see my nieces and nephews grow.
Do you want to get old or still want to be young?

Just like Judy, I already am old. I would be glad to become a bit older, not too much, I do not want to reach the age of 100, but I would like to live some more years. I don't have wrinkles, you can dye your hair and people can mistake you for a lot younger woman.

You should take it as a compliment, and be careful what you wished for. I've long desired about growing up but if I knew what I know now I would have had enjoyed my childhood more.

I never want to get old, but getting old sure beats dying.
Yes you do look younger than your age. That usually is a compliment.
And yes, we all want you to grow old!

I am one year older than you. I used to get that comment before. Not anymore now because I looked stressed.

@JustBhem right on that. how about you? when you feel well, don't you have plans to raise a child? the miscarriage that you had, as what you explained in a discussion of yours, i think will make you stronger as a future mother.

I wanted to be a mother and have a child my own. When I got pregnant, the emotions are mixed up and a lot of what if's. The boyfriend was too young and I was the only one working while he is still supported by his parents. To be honest, I didn't know what to do. I was overwhelmed by the idea I will have a kid someday that I forgot I am sick already. During those times I have high blood and I already have my maintenance. When the Doctor said I need to have it abort right away, I got hysterical because I know the baby still lives inside me. If ever miracle happens to me like my Kidney will function again, I will have a lot of kids and I promise myself to take care of them.

As I grow older, it doesn't bother me at all! First being a daughter, then became a mother, a grandmother, and now a great grandmother. Getting older is something I don't mind, one bit!:)

Oh and I envy them if only I knew I will be like this. I would have my own Family at an early age and have children.

I'm a Senior Citizen. Can't say that it came suddenly, though some days it feels like it. The magic is to live as happily as you can for the day while planning your future. Old age will definitely come when it does, be ready for it. Know when to get your Social Security Benefits, see what other benefits America has at benefits.gov. Life should be enjoyed today and the rest of your tomorrows. You'll grow old one day, but not tomorrow.
There is an old American adage...there are 2 things in life you can be sure of taxes and old age.
I would love to grow older, keep my mobility & senses forever and my good health please, thank you!

You could pray to Jesus for a miracle cure? Along with your doctor there are prayers too that heal and cure too if you'd like to go this route. But you got to see which one is right for you with a little research online you can pick one that's right for you. Prayers are a good thing and so is the doctor that is trying to cure you too and together I hope for a miracle for you. Take care!
