"you're only as old as you feel"
Cliche but true. I find that I change ages all the time depending on how I feel  All you can do is live your life and try not to waste it... Moonshoe hit the nails on their heads in that post above:
"Tell the people you love that you love them every single day.
The main way I take the edge off aging is gratitude - instead of being sad you are one year older, be grateful you got to live one more happy year."
Sometimes I get anxious thinking about all the horrible health problems older people in my family have suffered, but then I realize some of that is preventable by living a healthier lifestyle than they did. Knowing that makes me feel a little better, like I can (to a point) control how I age.
I also kind of look forward to the day when I get a senior discount at the thrift store.

I forgot about senior discount!!!
One time my grandma went to the thrift store with her friend and started shopping around. About 5 min later she starts noticing a burning smell and notices there's no one else in the store shopping. Her friend points out the smoke and they are confronted with a fireman who asks what they're doing in the store.
Apparently it was on fire and they walked right past the other people outside, along with the fire truck and firemen.... to go shopping.
I hope I'm a bit more aware than that when I'm older but I laughed still.

I was at the movies one day and it was fucking packed like a can of sardines with old people. They were farting, blowing their nose..etc. It was fucking gross. This old couple came in a little late and the movie had started so it was dark. They walked down the row in front of me looking for a seat and crashed into the movie theatre wall. Then..they backed up and walked into it several more times..idk wtf they were thinking but it was funny

Oh by the way as I age (I am only 29 but I feel myself getting old already) that the absolute BEST things for it are full body deep tissue massage and flotation tanks.
As I age I am going to get more and more massages and do more and more floats and spend more and more time in spas.

i don't mind the idea of growing old so long as i maintain what i feel is an acceptable level of quality of life. the moment i no longer feel able to do the things i enjoy,
fuck wasting away, unhappy and/or in pain
as well, i will not have children, and only a brother/niece remaining as family members.

I'm not really scared of aging. What really scares me is the idea of losing people close to me suddenly and unexpectedly. When someone gets old death seems natural and allows them to escape suffering, but knowing that anyone could expire at any time is hard.

Christ my wife dying when I'm young and healthy would be devestating Losing her when I'm old and sick would be hell Another reason I meditate- can't think what other refuge I will have as an old grieving man

Well some things about getting old suck and some things don't, I'll list a few;
Things that suck: - you begin to look older and the girls no longer look at you - little old ladies start giving you the eye - somewhere along the line you gave up jumping over things - you can't be bothered to carry a comb any more - you don't recognize your reflection any more - you fart more - you know death approaches
Things that don't suck: - people think you know more than you do - anxiety tends to decrease, things that were sooo important to you once are no longer a big deal - you don't really age inside your head - you don't feel the necessity to hide from those around you by playing with your media device in public - you no longer worry about your future place in this world - sex is no longer a driving force (though getting some is still good) - when you fuck up you can always blame it on age, everyone understands - you can actually afford all those sins you wished you could when younger
Reading all your posts about aging is like a walk through memory lane, remembering how it was when I thought similar thoughts at your age. Yes it catches up to you before you know it.
How best to approach it? Depends on you. Lots of good ideas in the posts here but I'd sum it up by saying brain then body. Keep you brain alert and interested and your attitude up beat. Keep your body healthy, at least healthy enough to be able to enjoy your old age. Beyond that just enjoy it because you sure can't change it.

been torturing myself, reading her old posts. this one did it. god damn it.

Acidic_Sloth said: our perception of time changes as we age so in a sense it does speed up the older we get. things aren't novel anymore, you make less new discoveries, you've "been there done that" already. a remedy to this would be to try new things, pick up new hobbies, or whatever, i really don't know. i do know that my 20s went a lot faster than my teens (which seemed to dragggggg) and i'm sure my 30s will seem to go quicker than my 20s.
as far as the question in the original post, i'm cool with getting older. i'm actually looking forward to my 30s which i'm trying very hard to see as a new chapter of my life; i think they are going to be great (i hope they'll be great anyway). right now though, i'm just procrastinating like a motherfucker on getting this damn essay for history done which i got an extension on.

I say this all the time to younger people, mainly because its warranted to the convo we are having at the time. *sigh* one can't outrun time, no matter what. I am going gracefully and embracing my age and wisdom.

well I guess sometimes one just has to say, fuck it!

I was high thinking about music and life around a 100 years ago.
I did some mental time traveling and came vividly to terms with how short time is, that the last 100 years just flew by in the blink of an eye.
And that my time is only a quarter of that blink.
The show goes on until your curtains are drawn,
