I did my laundry today at 8.50am. yeah I know... SHRIEKKK... But anyway while I was doing my laundry, I saw an old lady trying to do her laundry too. She looked frail, she walked twice slower than I did. She took twice the time I needed to do her own laundry when her clothes are not even close to half of mine. While she finished putting her clothes in the washing machine, I asked her if she need my help and she gladly accepted.
When I came down 30 minutes after to move my load to the drying machine, I saw her again. She huffed and puffed while taking her laundry out of the washing machine. I wasn't sure if I should offer my help again. But in the end I did. We ended up talking afterwards. She told me that she's 90 years old, she lives alone in my apartment. She told me to enjoy the youth because age will creep by you, not so fast but it will. She told me to do everything I want while I am still young. Listening to her, realizing how slow I will be in 70 years time, jolted me to always treasure the future and to never let go of an opportunity.
Because age will creep by
