i think i read in an irvine welsh novel that aging is as much a string of single stressor events as it is a slow background process.
asthma coming back, that was a couple years.
breaking my collarbone, couple years.
end of a 14yr relationship, three or four.
having four teeth pulled, ugh, maybe five.
feel like the election made me older and i won't know for awhile just how much.
whatever. as someone else said, we're all, in fact, just walking each other home.
