What makes you feel old?

Gawd, I was an adult when that came out!

 

The Home Alone movie is 26 years old this year.

 

Say what you want but my God, that makes me feel ancient.

 

I don't have too much of it anymore but back pain makes me feel very old.

 

As a whole though, I don't feel too old though. I think that will change as I get older but I don't feel afraid of aging within itself: I am just afraid of things that come with it. I am not worried about metabolism slowing down as much as I am worried about osteoporosis (I am high risk and it runs in my family) and other health issues. I worry about feeling lonely. I worry about saving up for retirement.

 

Overall though, I strive to live my life as well as I can, I plan my life path according to what I want to do, I live where I want, I avoid the people and responsibilities that I don't want in my life, I try to find meaning in what I do, and take a lot of time for myself, doing things I enjoy. Yesterday, I slept in very late, got up, ate sushi, drank water, went for a looong walk, and then played a new mystery game on my Playstation that I've been meaning to start. That was fun. I needed a "me" day, even though I try to take "me" time everyday.

 

Things like this make me feel not old, not young, but ageless. I have a few years until my 30s. I'm in my late 20s. I have no anxiety about that.

When my son comes home and tells me he "discovered" this great singer from a long time ago called Johnny Cash.

 

Weirder still is when he walks into the kitchen trying to match Steve Tyler's pitch on Aerosmith's "Dream On" and I realize I did the exact same thing, when I was his age.

 

Now, hand me my walker and pills, and get off mah lawn. (Ratchets shotgun at punks Dirty Harry style)
