I'm not sure why people are afraid of getting older. I'm in my early 50's and it's not that bad. Yeah I have some health issues but they are manageable. My hair is turning silver in some places. I have some aches and pains. But all of this happens at younger ages as well. I may not be able to do some physical things as easily as I once did but taking things slower is nice. You notice more detail and beauty in what is going on around you. You also tend to not take things for granted. As you get older, you naturally adjust to it. My physical appearance has gradually changed which makes it easier. When I was growing up, I looked up to my grandparents and thought they were the neatest people in the world. They "knew" stuff that my parents didn't. Maybe what you were exposed to as a child has influenced your views on it but believe me, it's only as bad as you make it out to be.
I am jealous of your optimism. I am 33 and I am already tired and want to ctb. Old age looks terrible to me.
