Dying is probably worse than being born, but both kinda suck

You don't usually remember either, so it's basically a moot point.

Plus side, you won't have to worry about it for long.

I am never the oldest Ill ever be until I am dead.

I am already older as I finish this post as compared to when I began it.

When I review it later, I'll be older yet.

I am the oldest I've been, but those are different things.

I'd be pissed if the oldest I reached was 30. 100? Nah I'd be dandy.
