I just started to notice all my friends aging.
Time marches on.
Little kids ( as I remembered them ) are getting married.
All the wrinkles.
Many of my older friends have died.
At what point in your life did you notice that you're getting older?
I'm 42.

I felt like 20 at 42. Is it life circumstances or your body that makes you feel old?
For me it was 2005 and I was 55. Went to take my pilot's physical and
failed! Went to the doc and she suggested zillions of tests & I ended up with glasses, BP meds, Cholesteral meds, and a prostate "alert." I felt old at 55.
She suggested I start treating my body like a temple instead of an amusement park. Started jogging and then running marathons, lost 20 pounds, high blood pressure and cholesteral went away, prostate watch is still just a watch. Still needed glasses.
I got arthritis in my feet at 60 and had to stop running. I wanted to run the New York, Paris, and Rome marathons - didn't get to run Rome. Two out of three ain't bad I guess, but I'm feeling old again. Aches and pains everywhere all the time. It sucks.
