how do YOU deal with ageing?

[LukSkyFokker]

Pushing 50 and still dress like I did in high school. Same hair too with very little grey. My health is kinda shit but it's not from old age, it's from massive physical abuse I put on myself.

hey...

for the first time in my life i'm at a loss. how am i supposed to dress? how am i supposed to act? i'm old and yet some mornings i wake up and think i'm still 20 yrs. old. i've never been old before.

do i try to be more dignified and invisible or do i just say 'fuck everybody' and carry on as i've done the rest of my life. i don't want to be a caricature, the old man who doesn't realize he's old. when you're a fag that's even more dangerous because other fags think you're just trying to get laid, which i'm not, having closed up shop several years ago. but how do i stop being me?

there needs to be a guide book for old fucks who are confused.

I deal with aging the same way I dealt with quitting heroin and smoking
cigarettes ---, one day at a time.

And stop listening to people who think you should this ... or you should that ...

Every day I'm surviving lung cancer is a good day.

What's this aging crap?


I'm a spring chicken, albeit one that's a few years past it's expiration date, but still a spring chicken!

 

[LLCox]

I ignore it.

I’m about to be 40 in a few days and I’m excited to start this next decade of my life. I’m almost an empty-nester, my career is amazing, my life is really good. I deal with time marching on the same way I deal with everything else, a lot of humor and a heavy dose of the absurd.

I dress well, and I stay on top of trends, I don’t apologize for liking what I like. I eat well, drink water, exercise, and have fantastic sex. I’m not looking to stay young. I’m just looking to adventure and enjoy life.

Celebrex 200mg every morning. Viagra 50mg PRN.

Life is good.

this last year has been a wake up call with regards to my physical health. i've made changes for the better, so my body is stronger and healthier. i want to be able to enjoy the latter part of my life, and that means caring for myself now.

i've also been cutting out the bullshit. constant negativity does not have a place in my life. today it is okay to walk away from people and places that bring me down.

i spend time with the people i love and the people who lift me up. i spend time with the people who are honest with me, who are there for me and who want to see me do well.

i work on my mental health through gardening, walking, talking with people who help me reflect, taking time to be alone.

i wear what i feel like. i act like who i am. i don't apologize for either.

Well, I’m working FT from home and doing e-learning with a sixth grader. Sometimes I longingly look at my dress clothes hanging in my closet. Never thought that would happen. I’m rarely bothering with any makeup now, even for WebEx or Zoom meetings. #covidlife

By taking up cycling again.

I never really quit, but it's an activity that's pretty darn safe during the pandemic. I'm not a group rider, I normally ride alone or with one of my kids.

 

[coati]

I do a lot outdoors. I do a lot of indoors.

The outdoor stuff seems to be the most helpful.

 

[Sweet_Lara]

moisturizer and swimming!
plump up those cells

 

[magic_knirf]

I work with little kids because I am a big kid. Physically, I feel my age. I don't deal well.

And they surely love you for not hiding it.

hey ...

Its all part of the adventure baby, all part of the journey.
Day by day, is how I roll.
(well---, that and the portrait in the attic.)

 

[HUNGRYHOLLOW]

Work hard play hard and lots of weed

One day at a time

For a long time now I have realized that I get one day older every day. So I am dealing with aging at the same rate as I am aging. One day at a time.

I hope that was helpful.

I thought about aging 1/2 half day per day but I realized it might cause a ripple in universal time warps.

As a remarkable twist of fate I have also noticed that I am also aging at the rate of one year per every year. It seems odd that the two factors would line up so perfectly for both days and years. But life is full of wonders.

[SilvaTungDevil]

I'm pickling myself in order to circumvent the aging process.

 

[KeithD]

I always try to stand next to someone who is ten years older than I am.

 

[FGB]

Had myself or anybody else for that matter, thought I would live this long I might have taken better care of myself the first thirty years of my life.


But probably not.

Still I don't regret all the Alcohol, Drugs and Women.

What I can remember it was a pretty good party!

I could have done without the gunfire, knifes, fights and Jail cell and DAMN the hangovers!

Well...Hey.

If you remember how you got to where you woke up at and with whom, all the time you did something wrong!

Then I did it wrong.
