While most people say it's due to physical causes such as muscles and joints slowly wearing out. Cells and bones don't grow back as fast as they used to. Blah blah blah.
Wanna hear my reason?
People get tired more easily mentally and emotionally which then affects them physically.
The older you get, the higher the total count for lies you've told. Incidences that you've had to brush or smooth away in order to keep the peace. More times that you'll have to put up a brave face when inside something's breaking.
And in the end, all the pretending sucks the energy out of you. It takes so much effort to put on the mask every morning to face the world. The world that tells you every thing's gonna be alright. "Every thing will be okay in the end. If it isn't okay, it isn't the end" But ultimately, you keep up with the masquerade. You think "Hey, it's already been 30 years. What's another 30?"
So it never ends, everyone wears a mask.
What do I have to say about this?
No, I'm not gonna say that we all should learn to throw away our masks. Cause honestly, the mask always gives off a better appearance, it gives people comfort seeing as they can control what mask people see them wear but they can't change the person that lies behind the mask. However, I do say that in life, look for those few that you can put your mask down with. Then maybe, just maybe, growing old won't be as tiring as it's suppose to be.
