It really is. My great-grandfather was born in 1898 and died in 1999. He almost lived in three different centuries. He rode a horse and buggy in his youth and played Windows Solitaire in his later years.
Fuck, that's my dream but realistically it won't happen. I'm an early 90s kid. I would have to live a decent bit over 100 to see 3 centuries.
It's kind of a sad way to live. Your family is mostly dead and all your friends are gone. And the world isn't what you knew anymore. So you just sit there and wait to die yourself.
Yea I see what you mean, I only really have my siblings, fiancee and mother that I care about so I'm not worried about extended family. I have a handful of great friends but I'm perfectly content with being alone, I often go solo camping to get away from things. I've long since made peace with what my dream entails if I ever were to live that long.
Being content with being alone isn't quite the same thing as knowing the world you lived in is gone and you are all that's left. And all that you have left is dying.
