I've just turned 62 years old. I used to be a heavy smoker and drinker and not much inclined to exercise. I don't suppose I've got too much longer to live, 20 years max possibly. To be honest I'm kind of looking forward to death as long as it's not a long, drawn-out, painful affair. I have no unfulfilled ambitions left, no children, no family or friends nearby, no hobbies, no interest in anything (anhedonia) and every day is the same. I've even considered taking things into my own hands but I'm too much of a coward. No, life has no meaning for me anymore. Having said all that, I imagine if I'm diagnosed with some sort of terminal illness I'll change my outlook completely, survival instinct is a bugger!
