Getting older

Mindstruggle was apologizing for calling 30 yr olds old when she was 18.
It's funny the things that change as we get older.
Hair runs out of color and changes texture
Hair grows out of control some places and quits growing ( sometimes quite early) other places.
Hair on chest ,back,arms,nose, eyebrows,pits,groin, forget that a half inch is good enough in most for mentioned areas and be come in rulely. Nose hair should stay in the nose and eyebrows semi flat and semi smooth. What bady didn't have hair now has surplus except on my head.
Wrecked a motorcycle at 21. Flew 20 feet or so through the air. Totalled the motorcycle and the car that turned in front of me. In the morning I was pretty good. Recovering quickly. Now I bend over too fast and feel the pain for weeks after.
One of the worst things is looking in the mirror and seeing this" mature" person looking back at me but inside feeling so way much younger as long as not aching and paining lol.
Over all it's ok. The alternative is heaven. Looking forward to that but in no hurry to get there.

I used to think 50 was old when in my 20s. But now that I will be 50 in less than a month I don’t think that anymore. Lots of grey yes. I think differently yes. But everything else is the same. And I don’t want to act like I’m in my 20s. I’m 50 and I’m fine with that.

@Jonjdw I'm fine with older but when I jump off deck or something that I really shouldnt....... I feel younger than my body supports

@Applepiedom I think I’m pretty much the same as I was. I have shirts I can still wear from the early to mid 90s. But the energy level is lower. But it may also be stress from a house full 10 people. Four grandchildren living here. It’s hard to get peace. I need more peace.

@Jonjdw climb the tree? Sure! Jump on trampoline?sure! Garden, split fire wood? Ok. That's what the brain says. Body says what were you thinking lol.

@Applepiedom yes. Plus I don’t want to get injured but I have hemophilia. But I get sore from car repairs. I’m thin but not in shape. But my job requires manual labor. But car repairs are different. But still do them
