Me at 30: "I'd never get Botox I'm fine with looking my age".
Me at 50: "I wish I could afford Botox because the saggy mouth thing makes me look completely different and I hate it".
Also couldn't kneel down if you put a gun to my head.

When you go onto a website with one of those cheesy self assessment age restrictions boxes and you're still scrolling to get to your year.
As far as any of those sites are concerned, I was born January first, [the earliest year they allow].
I'm too lazy to enter my correct birthday anywhere, I just scroll to random places and klick something. Plus I hope it confuses the data krakens, at least a bit.
I slept 4 am during one weekend because we had celebration, it's been 5 days now and i'm still feeling the lack of sleep and catching up.
i'm not that out of shape tbh, i use stairs daily on my 5th floor work office without needing to catch my breath, so i'm pretty sure ive got normal cardio and muscle condition. but the sleep, damn i feel the need to really catch up.
Please try different shoes. I was panicking that my knees were gone and it was just the shoes.
Barefoot shoes ftw.
When the doctor scrolls through your files, then scrolls some more, then scrolls more.
When the doctor asks you about ozempic.
When the doctor recommends your first colonosopy.
I went grocery shopping and realized the music was all stuff I liked and recognized. I even knew the words π
This is so funny. My friend and I were talking about this just the other day. As Iβve gotten older, my music tastes have actually gotten more discordant and experimental. I moved from a love of alt-wave and indie to no wave and punk and hardcore. But Iβve been listening to jazz since high school. That hasnβt changed. People always made fun of me for that one. But whoβs old now, you fucks
"Your teeth/eyes look pretty good for your age! π"
When you let the student hair dresser cut your hair and she cuts it to your actual hairline.
You forget peoples names.
But... but... I'm not even 20 yet.
- you walk into another room, but can't remember why you're there.
- You go downstairs to grab something, do 5 other unrelated things, go back upstairs and immediately remember why you went down in the first place.
Every effing day.
you walk into another room, but canβt remember why youβre there.
TIL I've been old since 12
You described my ADHD
When you get a full night's sleep and wake up feeling tired, that's when You've crossed the threshold. That and when you look into the mirror and think "who the fuck is that?"
There could be other non-age-related causes, particularly if overweight.
The second hand is moving.
My knees have been going out since I was like 16, so Iβve felt pretty old for a long time. I think my biggest old person thing is being very particular about my bedtime each night and always getting up at the same time. I definitely did not do that in my twenties.
Yeah same boat here.
Testosterone got the better of me weight lifting in high school and I fucked up the ligament that holds my left kneecap down.
I pop and crack like a 70 year old and I'm 29 (been happening since I was 17) and I can't keep my left knee bent for long periods of time without it aching.
I'm trying to stay young by playing video games (primarily rocket league) but they don't feel the same as when I was younger. That was my actual sign.
