52, and grateful for so much. The burning world is a fucking drag, but my 18 and 20 year old kids and their friends give me a lot of hope.
Incredibly, a couple years ago, I properly discovered cycling and have become pretty outrageously addicted to it, so weirdly I am fitter now than I have been since my 20ās.

I think I might be the oldest one hereā¦time really does keep moving faster with every year. But I have 5 gigs this week, some mixing and writing sessions and some great friends. I still road bike and mountain bike, go to the gym and if it werenāt for cameras and mirrors Iād swear Iām 20 years younger than I am.
Feeling grateful, to be honest. Itās been an awesome ride despite all the extreme shitty stuff. I give it two wrinkled thumbs up

I envy you, Iām the opposite, I do recognize that the list of important things to care about is short but unfortunately stupid shit people do gets me way too worked up and I wish it wasnāt like this.
the things go through my head when I see someone parking bad or not returning their shopping cart to itās placeā¦ sheeshā¦

Getting old is a state of mind. Iām 62. Iāve the mind of a teenager. If you think like an old person you will become one. Stay curious. Stay active. Donāt sweat the small stuff.

iām 50 and iām considering this getting mature, not old.
my girlfriend is 38 and she always treated me like iām 40.
the biggest problem for me is that rock star as a profession totally lost its relevance, so i have to invent workarounds.
regarding getting old: Dracula revealed the way to do it properly.

The thing I find as an old person is coming across people I find interesting IRL is very rare indeed. And I donāt know about you guys but I had some seriously good, potent friendships in my younger years. And some excellent education. It forms you. You became who you are through those friends. And thatās sort of established after your mid 30ās and 40ās.
People arenāt coming into my life now and shaping me into the dude Iām going to be in my 50ās, if you know what I mean. And so itās like a high bar is set.
Because as you get older your work becomes such a massive part of your life, it basically becomes your social circle. And those people at that work arenāt always people you catch up with outside of hours or admire. Theyāre sort of random in their interests rather than sympathetic when you found them in college parties or things like that when you were younger.
And I think that, aside from my isolationist tendencies in my older age, is why I spend so much time online. Even though itās less personal, less intimate, I get the intellectual stimulation from forums, videos and posts that I otherwise no longer seem to find in the real world.
That said, sometimes someone special does crop up. I think in my older age I have to try a bit harder to notice when those folks appear, and try and seize on it a bit more to hopefully cultivate more relationships out of that.

Iāll be 54 this year. Iāve been swimming 2-3 times a week for four years and this year I bought myself a rowing machine. But it barely touches the edges. I only have to look at anything sweet and up goes my weight. On the bright side, I have some peace of mind and serenity in my life that I have never had. Canāt go backā¦ and I wouldnāt want to. Contented is good enough for me. Happy New Year and happy music making! Oh yeah, one thing I would trade out is the hourly bathroom trips I have to make every night. But at least the crippling arthritus my Mum had hasnāt shown up yet.
