ever feel like you're getting old?

I'm 50, and everyday I feel old. I would think I was dead if it wasn't for the pain I experience in different areas of my body, daily, LOL...

Hey, but I'm having fun getting stoned again!

 

oh god, i must dead then!

 

yes

and i kinda like it

 

The other day I felt a bit old as I was watching Eastenders, using my foot spa and having a cup of tea.

 

The GOOD thing about getting older is after you have kids, and get them all raised-up, you and the wife/significant other/whatever can start to play again.

Cars, Cannabis, and cake. My three favorite inanimate objects, LOL...

 

Yu cannot really watch Eastenders. That must've been a sick joke to shake off any stalkers you've amassed here.

 

Hahah. Well ummmm... as embarrasing as it is to admit... I kinda enjoy it. Sometimes. Maybe. :&

 

Birth certificate says I'm gonna be 62 next week...I'm not sure what that means for sure...could be I'm gettin' older but as far as feeling old...I'm still waiting for that. I got a shit load of experience that I wouldn't trade for anything. Hell, some of my experiences are illegal now...can't even get 'em anymore...bummer, oh well. Too bad about all you folks that feel old.

 

I dont feel old physically, but because of all the shit I've been through, my mind and soulf feel old. I just turned 24 two months ago, and right a few days before that, my life took a turn for the better. I Love my life, my friends, who are my chosen family, and Im having a ball.. I felt old all through growing up having all kinds of pressure and responsibilities that no child should have to carry around, and now that Im free, I can have fun. And dammit, I wont let anything or anyone hinder my spirit anymore.

 

Man, I was 13 when Woodstock was the rage. Me and my friends started smoking pot, listening to rock music going to concerts, smoking pot. We lived the hippie lifestyle. Those were the best of times, with lots of pleasant memories.
I am now almost 51. Thirty-eight years later, I find, I haven't changed my worldview, my musical tastes and habits.

Do I feel old? In some ways, I think, I'm now a more mature, wizened person.
Yet in others ways, it seems that time stood still, to those beautiful memories, the wonderful experiences of that magical era of the hippies.

I may have aged in years, but deep inside, I feel, I'm still a hippie from the 60's-70's.

Must be that reefer, I smoked with my friends...

 

Yarapario - send some of that Good Kharma my way, please. I have been going downhill for years, he, he, he...

Glad you are feeling so well! It giveth me hope!

Hilder - AMEN !!! And well-said! We should all follow your lead!

steve90 - No, it was the memories! You ARE an old hippie! Just like me. I'll be 51 soon, and your early life sounds like mine. I wouldn't trade those years, OR those memories, for all the money in China! Or the U.S.!

 

Me too.

 

Meh, I don't feel as I am getting old... I feel at times though that life is going rather fast..

I rather enjoy aging, it's quite wonderful...
