Fellow CoSonauts: For those of you who consider yourself to be "old" (regardless of your physical age), I am curious: At what point did you stop thinking of yourself as "young"? Was it at a certain age? Was it upon the occurrence of a specific event (e.g. health, comment by someone else, milestone, etc.)? Or was it something else?
Seems like it was when I turned 45, @codeWhisperer. Started to feel old, more achy, longer to heal, etc.
Could have been all in my head, who knows?
@codeWhisperer Probably around fifty though I remember hating 29. The last ten years have been increasingly physically difficult so that about seals it. I’ll be sixty this year.
I have the maturity of a 17yr old, inconveniently placed in a soon-to-be 54 yo’s body.
I’m sorry, but I forgot the question…
🤣
Oh right, it’s a matter of degrees. And one day you look in the mirror and have an uncontrollable urge to play pickle ball.

@codeWhisperer I passed a couple of young ladies during my walk in the park & heard one say "She's old." I was in my early 50s. When I looped back by, I said, "If you're lucky, you'll get old too." It's not that I 've since thought of myself as old so much as recognized that others do!
