#old folx are rad af

[all-or-nothing-baby]

older folx are so damn cool. and not like in the "oh i'm now over the age of X and realise that the older generations aren't all stuffy and boring haha" kinda way. they're not a different species, you know lol.

i've always enjoyed (and often actually prefered) older people's company. because they're rad! older people were once younger people and, although some might act like they've forgotten that entirely, it can often be your own perspective that's projecting that onto them.

older people have lived through things you and i can only read about and marvel/rejoice/mourn/etc over; they've seen so, so much much change—especially in the last, say twenty-five years and (most of them) just roll with it; older people and their lives and feelings are JUST AS VALID as teens going through their awkward emo stage or their difficult coming of age stories; older people are just as valid as the fourty-odd year old new divorcee single parent; older people are just as valid as you or me.

and, a lot of the time, older folx are also a f*ck ton of fun, sometimes much more than you might expect (stop projecting!). just. talk. to. them!

older people are people. end of.
