I think you captured exactly my distaste for this article.

I understand it’s about coming to terms with these feelings and uses these specific examples.

But the examples used in the article seem unrealistic to begin with, as if the article insists that a plurality of people feel this way about youth and aging.

I just don’t think that’s really the case.

Of curiosity I just looked up the authors of my favorite book series - they were 43, 42, and 35 when the first book of each series was published. That first author is currently 70 and we're still waiting for the publisher that owns the rights to want another book in the series, she has a plot in mind and had revealed the premise more than a decade ago.
