I feel like such an old man, but I'm 46. (lemmy.world)

I have wrinkles, I have grey hair, I have back problems, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, I can't remember anything, the world seems confusing and complicated to me now and I wish things were simpler (which is why I like Lemmy). I definitely don't get kids today or their music.

How am I so old?

she views everything as new, and interesting, and may I never, ever shutter that desire to learn more

Honestly this drives my everything. I'm 51 and while I can hear a few creaks and groans, this rolling stone is moving. The world has always been as horrible as we seem to think it is today, but it is also breathtakingly new. Never let that go.
