Things I have noticed and things I have become.At nearly sixty two, I have noticed the changes.
Here is a stream of thought list written down & posted without filters or edits:
The ground is further away than it used to be.
Big Macs are small.
Mostly (but not always): TV is shit. Social media is shit. Movies are shit. Music is OK. Books are awesome.
I am way less stressed about things.
I am becoming my father (well, bits of me).
I have less tolerance for bullshit, and I give less fucks (probably than is socially acceptable).
Ambulances are driven by 16 year olds.
Years pass more quickly than days.
The world is ads.
I am less smart.
I am sliding slowly to the left of the introvert–extrovert spectrum.
Wisdom is available.
The machine is beginning to have operational issues.
Bedtime is soon.
Avoiding the ‘cynical old man’ cliff is a full time challenge. And it’s slippery at the edges.
Small things matter more.
Most’experts’ seem too young for me to take seriously.
Mental and physical well-being is everything.
I don’t have many close friends anymore.
Mirrors must be lying.
I am now in the home stretch.
Weights at the gym are getting heavier. Or the earths gravitational pull is increasing.
I no longer feel the impetus to solve the worlds problems.
I embrace it all.
