  • My knee still doesn't feel right after that hiking trip two weeks ago.
  • I started listening to really old music.

Have I crossed the threshold?

i think people are way too worried about being old while not enjoying the youth they have left right now

you can always be and feel older

Youโ€™ll never be as young as you are now

You nailed it. I'm loving it, I'm more fit now than ever and do so much more in my 40s than in my 20s even. It's great. You're only as old as you want to be. Listen to new music, try out new things and complain about it all when you're 90+

We always feel old cuz we've never experienced being as old as today.
