Thanks for your thoughts, Victoria. There is nothing I could say better or more succinctly in response to your comment, than what KimRae Ketcham and James Bellerjeau laid out. I suspect that you have the misfortune of not encountering the many inspiring older old people who could possibly change your mind about aging. If you are looking, you can find them here on Medium, too. In two of my posts, I invited readers to use our LiLo research platform to individualize their lifestyle medicine approach to reduce their vascular biological age. I was surprised to see that it was the older readers who took up the invitation. Among them are those who are now in your target range of 80+. I enjoy my conversations with them and I am truly inspired by their approach to life and health.
