Well I still look and act like I'm 25 so you maybe onto something there ❀️

Just wish I could end this whole having to work thing.

No matter which age, I think many of us wish we could.

You do you! I’ve met some very interesting older adults. A woman whose hair was still naturally brown in her 70s, another one who was pretty vocal about still feeling 27 in her mind, men in their 70s that still ride motorcycles and so on.

I’m in two minds about aging. They’re just my thoughts, but we’re in a time where elective treatments prolong life or at least QOL, that can be take for granted. OTOH, there are both modifiable risk factors and luck of the draw when it comes to aging.

More than one way of doing things. I’ll probably age disgracefully any way. πŸ˜‚

I once met a couple in their 60/70s who were at a bands first ever gig, we were having a great chat and they hushed me when the band started playing. So much respect for that.

Everyone's journey in life is different and it doesn't matter how you age it's about the fun you have along the ride.
