I don’t usually feel my age (which is well known since I do radio commercials for a Medicare insurance company). That is until recently. A springtime cold coupled with a strained back has friends and family saying “you should slow down!”
That’s not really in my DNA, and I came across a National Geographic article on the subject that I wanted to share. “New data suggests old age is more of a social construct than an objective biological reality,” reads the headline. It goes on to say that middle-aged and older adults nowadays feel younger than similar aged people did 10 to 20 years ago.
A few weeks ago, I wished happy birthday with a call to a 103 year-old former co-worker. She was the front office person at my first radio job in my hometown when I was a teenager. She aptly remembered many of the people and events from that time. And it was interesting to think that I might live another 40 years.
But will I want to?? Time will tell.
‘You’re as old as you feel’, goes the old adage. The Old Gays have a great TikTok video on the subject. My favorite line: “We’re old gays. We were at the first brunch… known as The Last Supper.”
