Worrying that every unexpected pain in your body will be cancer.
I've been like that since 15, that's just being a hypochondriac.
Your perception and outlook on time changes a lot.
Everything seems to go by faster. Waiting for something doesn't seem that bad when it's in terms of days instead of hours, weeks instead of days, months instead of weeks, years instead of months.
When making long term plans, "how long you think you'll live" becomes more and more of a factor.
My knees. I am past 30, and my knees somehow don't want to bend anymore.
On the other hand the older I get, the smarter I get about life. Do some physical activity on a regular basis, keep some long term goals in mind, don't let your emotional state depend on external factors.
Find balance in your life and know your limits and you will be all right.
School dreams are very rare now, and when I have them the "cast" is all people from various adult jobs. I never knew my actual school mates as adults, so I guess my brain just can't fill it in. If I was actually transported back to high school and saw them again it would probably feel like being surrounded by babies, so makes sense that "central casting" sends in adult stand-ins.
I'm always an adult too. What's weird is I remember being a child. I remember my body being clumsy and awkward, I remember being confused by adult concepts, I remember being small. It never comes out in childhood dreams, I'm always my present age.
When it gets "weird" wanting to do the young people stuff.
People at a store ask if I want the senior discount...hurumph rude! LOL
Doing an oil change, rotor and brake pad change in same day, means my back and legs are sore for a few days after
I didn't get a harumph from that guy!
You get free dlc every year, that you can't uninstall, for example: Cannot move neck after sleeping in a slightly wrong position. Random foot pain. Extra hangover. Blurry vision in the distance.
When I get up after sitting on the ground for a while my knees are stiff.
Get off my lawn.
Get off my lawn
Pimples just becoming permanent weird little bumps
You measure time on the scale of emergency to emergency.
People will tell you. Worst I've had is a pulled back muscle from sneezing while leaning forward in my chair.
My 60th birthday.
When the authorities ask why you haven't taken the carrousel rite yet.
Itβs daytime. Or nighttime. Or evening or morning. Or you donβt know what time of day it is but youβre conscious. Any of these situations indicates aging is happening.
Iβve noticed my passions arenβt as sudden, but they burn deeper and longer.
