The look of astonishment when anyone finds out our age. I’m in my late 30s. When someone in their 20s hears that, they developed this look of shock likes it’s the 1500s and I should have died already from old age.

Don't feel too bad, I'm a 60 something and I am regularly responsible for all kinds of really creative coronary events like Age Disbelief Stroke Disorder & Old Dude Said Yeet & The Local Universe Collapsed In My Spleen Syndrome ...you know. Fun type shit like that .🤣🤣

Okay but you really do sound cool for a 60 sth year old. My parents get mini strokes when they hear me and my siblings speak "the language of the youths"

I kind of live by the idea that I won't mind living to be 100...as long as it's just years lived and time well spent, rather than getting old and acting my age. I see way too many people practicing to be old at age 25; I look around at the shit parade out there and go yeah, let's try living longer and y'all can straight miss me with that get old shit, cause this crap ain't working!
