From Martin Shone, Wolverhampton, West Midlands, UK
Regarding negative attitudes towards ageing, even though I have a heart health condition, I hardly ever think of myself as old. I’m 64, but even before I was 28, I always had that specific age in my mind, and so I routinely think of myself as being 28 years old (4 April, p 19).
I have other health issues – osteoarthritis in my knees, for example – but I just let them go. I think of them only when they show themselves. In my mind, such as it is (I have always had aphantasia), I am 28 and always will be.
