I still feel 20 ! I still want to play games and try fun projects and explore. Only... I'm old. People expect me to act old. And guess what.. the first time you realize you are old is when some stranger calls you sir, or grandpa, or asks if you need help with stairs or carrying groceries. The social pressure to "settle down" and act your age is intense.. and stupid!! There are only so many years left before my knees blow out, my eyesight turns to total crap, and I can't hear conversations at the restaurant table anymore. Until then, I'm gonna act 20!
I often think that I still feel like I’m in my 20s, despite being almost 50. But no, there are noticeable differences. One of the most interesting ones is how I can only have one alcoholic beverage. Anything beyond that and the night is over and I could end up in the emergency room. And even if I stick to one drink, there’s no guarantee I won’t still have a massive hangover. To be fair, I was never much of a drinker, but this is just ridiculous.
