Also: The people don’t change. The pool of people your age that you could meet doesn’t change, it only gets smaller.

      I mean this makes sense. It’s not unlike trying to grow your hair long. If one falls out it’s not like the new growth is going to be that long immediately.

      So if someone my age dies, it’s not like a new 53 yo dude just pops into existence.

      But yes still kinda depressing
