I had texted her
a video
& I thought maybe it was
CRINGE
SO
I was trying to explain
my thoughts
I SAID
I don't want to be OLD
even if I get chronologically older
she's like
BUT
isn't old cool
I'm like not if it's how the boomers seem to me
I got a lecture about how taxis is better than Uber
from someone who has
NEVER used Uber & probably hasn't taken a taxi in 20 years
it's telling a current person what they should think and do
using a non-existent model of the world
I don't ever want to be THAT
my understanding of my job
as an old person
is to tell you what it's like where I'm from
in a way that is relevant to you
and to do THAT
I have to continue to understand
what is relevant
she said
I believe that when you do get old
as we all must eventually do
you will still be a bad-ass
