I’m older than 42.5, which means I’m closer in age to 60-year-olds than to 25-year-olds

1. I feel you. I am 23. I feel like I was 15 just before yesterday…I think we keep living in the past and not present..This sub is helping me give some perspective. I personally have huge regrets for past few years of my life…and keep thinking if I could go back in time..

2. I’m 46. I was carded buying alcohol, and realized I’m closer to 70 than I am to 21.

3. I get that feeling too. How the *hell* have I managed to live this long?

4. Right before my birthday? Why you gotta do me like that? 😂🫤

5. 43 here and I feel no older then 25 lol expect the day after I pretend to still be 25 lol

6. Feel the same way, 51, remember hitting 25 like it was yesterday. Time moves so fast.

7. Why would you do this to me

8. 42.5 is the new 27.74, though.

9. I’m about 40 and I still feel like 18 was last week. It’s like I blinked and 1/4 of my life vanished

10. Statistically we’ve crossed the tipping point too – we’re closer to death than we are to birth.

11. Turned 40 this past weekend.

    While 20 year olds seem way too young to hang out with, 60 year olds *definitely* seem much further away, even though they’re the same.

12. Oh crap. That’s why people on campus keep thinking I’m a professor. When I’m wandering around looking for my class I certainly don’t FEEL this old!

13. Got a pet theory that our self conception and our “world perception” at like, 25-30 is what persists in life, despite the fact we’re not that person anymore and the world is not that world anymore.

14. Not really because you’ve already been 25, but you’ve never been 60.

15. Meh, health-wise you are still closer to 25 I’d say. Health starts decaying after 40, but more exponentially after 60.

16. I’m 47 and feel 25, maybe 30. And sometimes it takes me to the guts. I’m old. I’ll soon be a 60+. Shit, that was too fast.

17. I’m in my early 40s, and could very easily be a grandpa (thankfully not so far).

18. So be prepared because tomorrow is 60

19. So… what’s your question?

20. I’m 63 and this all sounds like whine to me.Guard your health young man.Its the best thing you’ve got.

21. JFC man… i didnt need this on a monday morning.

22. Good. I’d rather talk to a 60 year old than a 25 year old.

23. I’m about to be 42.5 and this just made me poop a little.
