    I have learned the difference between “your” and “you’re”.

      For me, it’s correcting people that.

    You start correcting people when they say “your” instead of “you’re” :-)

    I don’t heal as fast anymore. Cuts and scrapes turn into scars easier.

    I find it takes much, much longer to heal from injury. That’s the main downside I’ve experienced. When I say longer - when about 8 yo I broke my arm, it took 5-6 weeks to heal, maybe 10 to really heal, stop swelling ever and feel exactly like the other. When about 45 I broke my finger and it took 2 years to fully heal and feel like the rest of them.

    But it also takes longer to get mad, I’m less irritable, more perspective I guess. Easier to feel happy/satisfied, too, it’s closer to the surface now.

    All pro athletes are younger than me. Except maybe a hockey player or two.

      Completely walking away from sports you followed with passion your whole life because you just aren’t interested in learning the next crop of pros. Also, you know the way money and politics and other things force things in sport and it takes the fun out of it…same can be said for music.

      It’s probably because you stopped caring so much and acting awkwardly around them

        It is! Hence the realization that I got older. Sorry, re-reading my comment above I wasn’t clear

    Finding grey hair in your beard. The first time I started to feel older was once I found a couple grey hair in my beard. None in my hair, just beard

    When I get up after sitting on the ground for a while my knees are stiff.

    Get off my lawn.
