Can you not prepare for aging and it just hits you one day that you aren’t the same in some aspects anymore?

I’m 37 and while I’m not old by any means I’m recognizing subtle signs of aging. Not just physically but the times also. I know we all get old but I guess I just never thought that day would arrive.

Changes in your looks, your favorite celebrities not being relevant anymore, cool trends becoming old news, youre no longer youth culture, 10-20 year anniversaries becoming more normal, etc.

I don’t know if its hard to accept but its almost like youre in denial to some degree. Like you’re that has been, your time passed, or you’re considered old to some people. Its a weird feeling.
