No more volunteer work for me
I think thats the first and last volunteering for me. I can't even keep my cactus plant alive, or my goldfish in her bowl, or that CD from getting mouldy. Let alone an old man.
Maybe thats why I decided not to get married. I want to give love, but I am not confident that I can handle the stress and responsibility of bringing up a kid and maintaining a family.
Getting into this AJ world could be the only way I can salvage my sanity, and keep my health going. Taking care of my mum and dad, is enough responsibility for me I feel.
We all know our limits. And it is that knowing that fuels that confidence in something we do. At my age, I should more or less know where the boundary stands.
And 30+ years from now, I will be 67, old lonely bachelor. Somebody will come pick me up for Xmas dinner for the "Old and vulnerable", and then maybe I will choke and die.
Morbid but real.
