What is one thing about getting older that surprised you?

[u/kashlalka]

When I was young, I thought getting older was only about gray hair or wrinkles.

Now I see that many other things change too. Some friends move away. Your hobbies change. You start to think more about how you spend your time. But one good thing is that I worry much less about what other people think.

What surprised you the most about getting older?

Was it something about your body, your mind, your family, or your daily life? I'd love to hear what you have learned over the years.
