You Know You're Getting Old When

You used to drive cars before they had power steering. And you loved driving your stick shift VW Beetle. Even if the heater was crap.

K then I been real old a long time. I prefer: high-expectationed.

When you stop anticipating fashion trends. I can distinctly pinpoint when the current style and my style began to diverge. (When clothes became ugly, obvs, lol)

When you enjoy doing things more than making a selfie doing things you’re supposed to enjoy.
Because when there is no selfie it just didn’t happen.

When you don’t feel like you’re getting older you just feel like you’re getting ‘better’… yes!

The amazing thing to me about the whole thing is so much is the same, bad traffic, this, that and the other while technology has done amazing and wonderful things like these little phones that take pics, connect us with the world, deposit checks ( what’s that?), music, and so much else.

@Runningfree age spots really is a misnomer, imho, just like liver spots. They should just call them sun spots.

I definitely knew that I was old when I prefered brunch over dinner, muted the phone after 8 pm, needed new glasses every 2 years and my study colleagues could be my children :scream:

Oh, and I realized that I’m fuck that shit old when I chose myself over my loveless drinking husband. Since then I grew really old: I talk more to plants and pets than to people, I am constantly busy busy minding my own shit and I shop online because perimenopause hit with all it’s glory, including massive weightgain :rofl:

And I too prefer slippers now! :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
