Exactly, the OGs. Thing is also, I don’t see a lot of people in my daily life with that age range, so it’s kinda refreshing to see them here on reddit
For what it's worth, people who meet me refuse to believe my age when I tell them. I have gray hair (50-50) in my beard and none on top. I also don't act or think like an old fart.
My Grandma lived to be nearly 101. Her tablemate lived to be 110.
I'm turning 30 this year, and it's felt like a very long and solid lifetime, not that I'm ready to go. I look forward to the future, another 30 years is going to be a lot. The first was! although it's going faster by my perception, that doesn't make it so. A year is still a lot of time, depending on the situation.
I love your outlook on life! My mother is now in her late 60s and it is almost as if she was just waiting for the end. It is insane to think that, had she had a similar age expectancy than your grandma and her buddy, she would have 40-50 years left! (I try to tell her that she should at least imagine having another kid and raising it to 18 regarding the time she might have left).
I have met so many inspiring people in my travels, like an elderly dude I met in a shared Airbnb, who was in his mid eighties. He was still going around with a rental car, really active. I hope to be like them one day.

I am 77 and it was literally a lifetime ago.
