normally referred to as old timers disease

That's what they say anyways. It's probably nothing, just another rabbit-hole. Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support, Jimmy. Appreciate you.

Haunting this is... reminds me of my father... he descended into dementia before he died...

Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support. Also the RL means a lot to me. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm just getting older I'm sure that's all it is in my case. But I'm sure that would be a haunting situation. Sending prayers and positive energy your way. Appreciate you.

I can relate to this message due to my tumors I forgot sometimes myself due to the tumors on my brain, which is affecting my hearing and seeing with the right eye 😔🤨 yet I still managed with the help of my wife ☺️🙏

Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support. That's really got to be tough, I'm so glad your wife is there to support you. At least you're not going through this alone. Sending prayers and positive energy your way. Appreciate you.

Hoping you break free, Damian. Knowing nothing is permanent helps.

That's very true. It's just a fear of mine, so I'm probably just letting it get in my head. Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support, Ahavati. It really means a lot to me. Appreciate you.

These are fearful feelings that many deal with.  Perhaps if someone wants to leave behind a legacy or be remembered for something.  No other way to put it, we all don't want to be forgotten, let alone lose ourselves.  You use particular instance in how you present this, in the choice metaphors and analogy of emotion.  Sadly, as a whole, there's no escaping death.  With that, uncertain future literally manifests.  One empire comes along, wipes out the others' history, then 200 years later, another one comes along, wipes out history, etc.  In the scheme of things, not much or many are remembered, at least within a time span of a few thousand years.  It's only by, of, or to someone else's accord.  We're here for basically 70 years, then gone.  It goes by fast, considering how old the universe and earth are.  This seems to capture the yearning for significance, truth, dignity, purpose, or an on-going desire to live and be free.  Anyway, that's just how it comes across to me.  You did a good job, as I felt connected to this.  Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support. I agree with what you're saying on the subject. I don't know that I really need a legacy to leave behind, I mean it'd be nice but not a dealbreaker. I just hope to leave it all to my kids, so they can always remember who I was. If that makes any sense? I always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.

Yeah, maybe I assumed too much of a grand and universal application, heh.  Children are extremely important, and they really do carry on the legacy.  That's really all anyone can do right now, in what we have as truth and purpose.  Again, I apologize.  I kind of over-thought some and made assumptions.  Anyway, I don't mind being in support of you.  You have talents, and they show.

It's all good. I mean you weren't wrong in the broader scope of things. Plus, my one rule in writing is simply let the reader come to their own opinion. I'll always know mine, but the joy in doing this is letting others come to their own conclusions. Appreciate you.

Dear DL,

Great concept piece. Losing myself and being a burden to others is a thought I can’t wrap my head around. Your words put it more eloquently. H🌷

Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support, H. I'm glad you liked the write. Also, I'm honored to make your RL. It is very tough to wrap my head around as well. Appreciate you.
