Old age scares me.. what if your partner passes away before you, and your childrens are settled with their family elsewhere and you wouldnt like to live at your childrens place... your are all alone..just by yourself.. when i was younger, i used to get thrilled by the idea of hving to live all by myself..in home of my own..growing up i realised, i need people around me..as much as i need my personal space..but the thought about living alone, i realize now that it's stupid even think that..humans are afterall called socialanimals for a reason..
