    Does anyone here feel their age? Physically or mentally.

      Mentally nope, physically… it’d like an entire new spine please. And knees. Maybe just do the whole lot.

        Yeah, but, like, your hair. That’s all I have to say.

      Nope. Never have. I think I’m chronologically challenged. Even as a child I felt I was a different age to the elapsed time record. This still applies. Though I do find that as age advances (I’m well over 60), that physical deterioration can be a bit of a reality check. Inside my head I’m still a teenager.

          It is my ambition to grow old disgracefully, or maybe gracelessly. Working on it.

      Interesting question! Do I feel 48. I don’t know what what 48 is meant to feel like. I feel I’m at my peak now where I can concentrate on me and what I want going forward. Maybe I do come across as cocky but I don’t give a fuck. I prefer confident, strong and I’m gonna keep that as long as possible. 💪

        I LOVE this. I don’t ever think you come across as cocky, but just confident and aware of who you are which I SOOOOO admire. I really respect your energy and spirit!! I genuinely hope you help feel others to feel confident and strong and own exactly who they are because honestly, you inspire me. Thank you for being exactly who you are!!

      It varies. In some aspects I feel really old, in others I feel like I’m behind and others have out-adulted me.

      My watch says my fitness age is 33. At this point I think I’ve maybe accidentally upgraded the OS to something more supportive than accurate.

      Mentally, definitely not. I’m perpetually 25. Im waiting to act like a grown up.

      Physically, I’m doing ok because I’ve worked on my fitness levels in recent years. Still when I pull a muscle, it hurts harder and longer now.

        I’ve gained a lot of weight but am aware of my limits and am working on them. No thanks to pulling a muscle getting out of bed but also know that to some extent it’s out of my power.
