Especially like myself, I've tried to learn as much as I can from my aging old man (while he's still as active and as mobile as any other average person, no walker and no cognitive decline, slight hearing loss perhaps?) from things like automotive maintenance, general maintenance around the house. To save on paying trades and paying others to do work some can do themselves "the basics" of course, nothing involving things best left to the professionals and the experts aka qualified people. I just mean basics like anything from basic car oils and basic maintenance, through to those chores you just learnt with life experience or being shown. Anyways, I liked having a slight sob today in the shower, just thinking how I'm now 30s and it's nice to still appreciate "a slight sob" from time to time to appreciate one's own ego mixed with others eventual mortality (aging) like whenever the day is (and however old I am myself) if my old man ever declines (put into a home) or passes away from old age. Yeah...😭😅 It's as much reflection as much as still appreciating while I've got what I've got before it's ever gone whether long time or short time, who ever knows as they say what's behind any curve or stray corner. Anyways 🧐 especially as I'm still 30s and, sure, to a degree I've been 'spoonfed' a lot until the last couple years after Covid I've been wanting to appreciate (which I already was) how time passes by. Especially 2022 onwards, the irony of the Queen not even making it to 100, sigh. Anyways. It's like extending car longevity, as another used car is still pricey compared to maintaining an existing with regular servicing by professionals and oil changes when due, new parts not unreliable ones. Etc. no advice lol - I've never wanted to be "that guy" who's been cotton wooled too often and couldn't take over the farm from day 1, there is no farm, yet you get the meaning, and life is so unpredictable, it's comforting to feel more educated than starting from scratch
