I Don’t Want to Be a Burden in My Old Age

Austin Tang — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 13:57:56 +0000

I am not afraid of growing old. Let the wrinkles come—I will wear them like medals, proof that I have laughed, cried, and lived deeply. Let my skin loosen and fold like pages in a well-loved book. Let my hair silver and shine, a crown earned by years of stories.

I do not fear the quiet. Solitude is no stranger; I have learned to make peace with my own company. I have sat in stillness and found strength there. I know how to rest in the silence without being swallowed by it.

But what unsettles me is something else—fate. That unpredictable force that sometimes tucks you in at night like a loving hand and other times leaves you standing in the rain, forgotten and cold.

I do not want to become a burden—a sigh of exhaustion behind closed doors. I do not want my presence to feel heavy in the room or my name to be whispered in tones of weariness. I do not want my dependence to become someone else’s silent sacrifice.

I want to be like the wind—restless, moving, always dancing forward. I want my old age to be a poem of resilience, a morning brewed with memories, a sunset painted with hope. I want to keep learning, keep loving, keep discovering—never stagnant, never finished.

I do not fear aging. I fear being boxed in by a life I didn’t choose—a life that shrinks instead of expands.

So I will keep walking forward, not clinging to what was, but embracing what still can be.

And if the day comes when my steps falter and I lean on others more than I would like, I will offer my gratitude freely, never forgetting that love is not a burden—it’s a gift.

To those who carry others with patience and tenderness—you are the quiet heroes of this world. Thank you

Holmes

*YOUNG ? and OLD* ?

When YOUNG,
I was WORRIED about MY PIMPLES.
When I am OLD,
I am WORRIED about MY WRINKLES.

When I was YOUNG,
I was WAITING to HOLD HER HAND.
When OLD,
I am WAITING for SOMEONE to HOLD MY HAND.

When I was YOUNG,
I was LONGING to be ALONE.
When I am OLD,
I am WORRIED why I am ALONE.

When I was YOUNG,
I HATED being ADVISED.
When I am OLD,
there is NO ONE around to TALK or ADVISE.

When I was YOUNG,
I ADMIRED BEAUTIFUL THINGS.
When I am OLD,
I see BEAUTY in THINGS around ME.

When I was YOUNG,
I felt I was ETERNAL.
When I am OLD,
I know SOON it will be MY TURN.

When I was YOUNG,
I CELEBRATED the MOMENTS.
When I am OLD,
I am CHERISHING MY MEMORIES.

When I was YOUNG,
I found it DIFFICULT to WAKE UP.
When OLD,
I find it DIFFICULT to SLEEP.

When I was YOUNG,
I WANTED to be a HEART – THROB.
When OLD,
I am WORRIED when will MY HEART STOP.

At EXTREME STAGES of OUR LIFE,
WE WORRY but WE DON’T REALIZE,
LIFE NEEDS to BE EXPERIENCED.

It DOESN’T MATTER whether YOUNG or OLD. LIFE needs to be LIVED and LIVED WITH LOVE & LOVED ONES on. You are surely one of these.

*A Wonderful Message and a Fact too?*
