‘But being alive is not the same as having a life. In youth, you fear death. In middle age, you fear dying. In old age, you fear life. So no. Death doesn’t scare me. Not half as much as living does.’

Too true!! 😢

‘I always presumed I had more time.’ ‘To do what?’ I pause. I can’t think of a superior answer to the truth. ‘To do better.’ Winnie smiles and necks the last of her brandy. ‘Don’t we all,’

But once solitude ceases to be a choice, I suspect it’s not nearly as appealing.
