I’m starting to feel old…well not really. I’m just noticing things that hint at that more often. For example, those drop down menus on websites that you have to select the year you were born from. I use to never have to search or scroll to find my year. Now I do. And always farther down too.
I’ll be watching a news broadcast, and see someone my age. I’ll be reading an article or book and see a photo of the author; and realize they are my age too. But to me they look older, much older.
I use to think that I didn’t see myself as other people do, and I’m right in a way I suppose. I have been told that I don’t look my age let alone feel it. I apparently look younger, by about ten years.
It could be the weight loss. It could be the new glasses. It COULD be the fashion advice my wife imparts to me which I now more easily accept. (I finally disposed of those like new green jeans that I bought back in my early 20′s.) It could be any number of things. Which, I don’t really know. And quite frankly it doesn’t really matter. You’
re only as old as you feel.
