Live Forever

When I was much younger I would often fantasize about living forever or just having a super long lifespan.
As I've got older, lived longer, I realized that was an incredibly stupid fantasy.

The world is full of greedy, cruel, selfish, evil people. My entire life I've struggled just to exist. I've been homeless. Dug my food from a dumpster to survive. I spent months living in a lean-to in a patch of woods behind a shopping center.
I am doing better now financially (stable at least but not a lot of extra money) and I am deeply in love with my spouse and love my family.

That being said, hell no, I would never do anything to live longer than my natural lifespan.

I could not imagine living hundreds of years or even worse, forever, it would be a nightmare.
