Me Only Cruel Mortality Consumes

One good thing about becoming middle-aged is it reveals to you your inner solipsism. You feel aches and pains springing up here and there and it feels to you like some unique injustice. Why of all the world is this cruel curse come upon me, you cry, because apparently in some part of your mind the experience of literally every one else ever doesn’t count.

Apparently, despite being not quite 30, I have become middle-aged. I can tell the weather by the pain in my hands and feet. Not fun, but older people just laugh. ‘Wait until you get older,’ they say, and I groan, anticipating how much worse this will get as I age.
There’s a storm on the way in, by the way; my finger bones are aching.

I feel just like my mother used to: “What’s a nice girl like you doing in an old, worn out body like this?” I’ve actually been startled when passing a mirror because my mind still thinks of me as about 26 or so. Won’t it be lovely to be resurrected beings!!
