3. I am a baby boomer.

So far, there is nothing I can do consistently any more. I cannot stand for too long,. I cannot sit for too long. I am having more and more difficulties mentally. Today was a surprise day of late summer. I cannot ride my bike because I ran into a car three months ago. I cannot risk falling again. The fact that there is a risk of my old feeble ass falling is enough to make me run screaming into the night. Except I cannot run, and have not been able to for years. I did not mean to be like this. I did not mean to fail at every single fucking thing I got within 100 feet of. But, here we are. There will be no good times for me. Those times have passed. My body cannot handle it anymore. My brain cannot handle it anymore. My soul cannot handle it anymore.
