Had a cousin who when asked her age would reply '30' and next yr would be '29'. Always a laugh on the response. She was the same age as my dad. Her mom was my moms older sister. Strange calling a person your dads age by their first name.
Two things have made me think that maybe I'm not as young as I used to be. I had to have my hip replaced in 2018 and I'm older now than my dad's age when he had a paralyzing stroke. My health is good or well managed but I think the pandemic and isolation has also played a part in the realization. At 73, I still roam the wilderness backcountry on my own but my daughter has suggested that I at least text her when I'm out roaming around. I agree -- I should do that, especially since I have had a couple near "misadventures" over the years.
I have changed my diet -- cut out red meat and made some other changes moving toward (but not embracing) a veggie diet. I eat fish and chicken. I can tell a difference, lost some weight, and my total cholesterol dropped 22 points. In some ways that has made me feel a bit younger.
I don’t feel “old,” but I definitely see life is finite.
All of my grandparents are in their late 80s and are noticeably more feeble or demented than even when I moved back to the area in 2016. One grandmother is rarely lucid. They’re to the point that it is difficult to keep them in the home.
My parents are 64. Dad doesn’t seem it, but mom is looking old and seems frail. My mom is much worse off than her mother was at an equivalent age.
I started going to the gym with my dad in 2000 when I was 14 and he was 42/43. If we kept going to the gym for the same amount of time, he’ll be 85.

That kind of sums it up.
I didn't feel old either when I was 35
