Here are the tell-tale signs that yep, you’re definitely getting older.
You guys, yesterday I turned 35. It’s strange, really, because in my brain I’m no more than 16. I know I’m not; I have children, a mortgage, life insurance and “grown-up” things. But I just don’t feel 35.
However, I pretty much match up to every single one of these signs that yes, I’m getting old. So I guess it’s happening whether I like it or not.
How old do you feel? How many of these do you identify with?
