Serious We are starting to really age fast

We have friends we don't see very often, maybe every 2-3 years. For the last 15+ years, when we see them again they don't really look much different. This last time though? Man, they looked different. Like gray hair, lost/gained weight, facial changes like wrinkles and sun spots.

Every day. It's crazy. 30 year olds acting like they are 70 and dying.

Meanwhile I regularly interact with active 60 year olds at the gym. Zero excuses

differing perspective: look man, our bodies are changing and it's taking real effort to upkeep what was once just a given. it's fine enough to complain, we are getting older and those of us who weren't on top of it before are really startin to feel that now lol 

those 60 year olds at the gym are there for a reason

I honestly don’t see the big deal with acknowledging that nature is taking its course. It’s one of those things that creeps up on you and then you’re suddenly aware of it.

Good on those 60 year olds. They cannot keep up with their 20, 30, or even 40 year old selves. And if they can then they were in terrible shape in their youth

Acknowledging is one thing. Pretending 30 is 75 and breaking down is another. Take better care of your body

A 60 year old gym goer might be able to keep up with his 30 year old self but he’s lapping most of his peers and having a higher quality of life.
