Dont worry, half of them are +70 now
oh god
Im actually impressed by a lot of younger people today. Many are quite wise. When I was 18, I dont think my brain worked properly even.
I specially love the ones who challenge the 9-5 bullshit and the American dream bullshit.
They say death is the great equalizer. I say it’s age, cause you’re still alive to realize the folly of your youthful hubris.
Age definitely doesn’t teach wisdom equally.
I accepted having entered old status when I reached 31.
The older I get, the better it gets. I love being “old” for young people. Happy to be excluded from the prevailing culture, slang/lingo, fashion, trends, etc. Being old is a much much more comfortable place to be for me.
Yeah, I remember thinking “when I’m old, I’ll still be able to keep up with all the new stuff because of the internet.”
It’s true! I can do that.
I no longer care to, but I can!
The weirdest part is how as soon as I decided to give up and wear comfy, ugly (to me) clothes, they came back in style. I straight up started wearing my dad’s old clothes (I’m afab, maybe an egg, but I definitely read as a woman to others) and long socks (in the cooler months- part of getting older for me is that things start to ache when they get cold), which I felt a little insecure about. Then somehow shortly thereafter the kids in my college town started doing it too. I’m glad younger women don’t feel like they have to wear all the uncomfortable stuff I did though, it’s just a little surprising.
I’m 50, what do you mean “old status”? I’m young but there’s some seriously suspicious stuff going on with my body.
I have a 70yo colleague that does open triathlons that includes swimming in the open north sea and comes in like top 10%. He does look a little wrinkly but he does move quick
but they are now at least 42. so actually old
still
Hey, they are at least 50, still old though!
Why? You were right
