Daily Prompt: Forever Young
If there were a real Fountain of Youth, would you drink the water?
To put it simply,
Life is exhausting and to grow old and pass on is what I want to happen.

I’d drink it. Not from a fear of getting old, but I want to see how we turn out.
Imagine if I drank it today & the Mayan prophecy turned out right. How shit would that be
But, if you had eternal youth, would life still be exhausting?
Living is just exhausting, in my opinion. I feel like growing old and dying is almost like a right of passage. I did my time and now I get to move on to the next part of life.
Not too soon, though, right?!!
Of course! I’m not finished yet!
I disagree that life is exhausting and I agree not to drink the water. I find that thinking is exhausting but not life in general.
I just mean like to go through life, at the end you get tired. I’ve heard older people say that they’re finished with their time on earth and are ready for a break. And also, we all lead different lives. Many find their lives exhausting.
Not sure.
I have always wanted to live forever, but that’s only because I have the idea that if I would have more time I would be able to do more epic things. If living forever just means more of the same… yeah, gimme old age then, and preferably a swift death.
I think that if I didn’t do everything I wanted to then I might want to live a little bit longer.
