You feel old because you . . . Ah never mind!
I’m right behind ya. We’re old.
Interesting perspectives here.
I do feel young at heart like most of you here. I mean, compared to my parents at my age. I still ride bikes, can still ride a skatepark on a bike or skateboard (rode a wheelie for a block the other day, haha), ski or snowboard, etc.
Mentally I don’t feel much different than I was at 30.
I do have more wisdom and I think a better perspective now. It’s a happier time now, from 20 to 50 was a long, stressful grind.
But, physically I have some issues. Heart things. I don’t have the same energy level, need more sleep. I see my parents in their 80s now, I never viewed them as “old people” but that’s becoming a reality more and more every year.
I retired at 50, so it’s been quite a while now. On that, I’ve had no regerts. I have a theory on that. It’s a lot easier for introverts. So it’s been a very easy path for me, I basically wake up excited for every day, and go to sleep every night so thankful for another day above ground.
But I can totally see how it might be difficult for others.
