old

Getting older is a part of life. We're literally constantly aging but some days we feel young and naive and other days we feel like we're well on our way to becoming the old creepy man on the block. The worst thing you can do is compare your accomplishments to someone else, but it can feel good to relate to other people going through the same 'growing pains' as you. The more we normalize aging, the less 'out of touch' we might all feel. After all, each phase of life should be celebrated, as well as laughed at because some of this sh*t is too good.

This Reddit thread is filled with funny relatable moments when people realized they were not getting any younger.

Being a young adult can be hard. What makes it even harder is when there's an entire younger generation roasting you for every single thing you've ever done or said. Why is Gen Z so harsh on Millennials. Do they deserve it? Is it really such a big deal that they used Myspace when they were younger?

The best thing to do in these cases is to laugh with them I suppose. Millennials did do a ton of funny sh*t, so Gen Z isn't entirely off. Give in 10 more years and Gen Z will get equally roasted on Twitter by the generation following them. So no worries, this is just how it goes.

So, it's commonly known at this point that women outlive men in almost every part of the world. I'm definitely not complaining, but it is interesting to think about why it might be that way. I'm sure there's a totally accurate scientific explanation for it somewhere, but conveniently #WomenLiveLongerThanMenBecause is already trending on Twitter so... I bet the true answer is there somewhere. Hehe.

Aging is a cruel process; one minute, you're 23, and your whole life is ahead of you, but five minutes later, you're a decade older, and your back hurts from bending down to pick up your groceries. Honestly, I don't know where the time goes. In the wise words of Andy Bernard from The Office, "I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them." These tweets will hit home hard if you're at the age where you need to schedule naps before you have sex. I'm not; I'm just speaking for a friend.

I may or may not be in my early 30s, but let me tell you, in my soul, I'm still 26. It amazes me how quickly time passes and yet how immensely conscious of it I am. I am more aware of body parts than I ever have been (oh, hi aching knees!), and my ideal 'night out' is actually eating pasta in bed, watching Netflix. Aging is a cruel process, and I have decided to stay 26 forever. The end! Oh, and here are some memes that you'll also relate to if you're in the same stage of life as me. 

Although growing old is the natural passage of time, no one wants to say goodbye to their youth. Because with age comes more responsibilities, aches and pains, and a loss of blissful naivety about the world. For some, the time flies by without us even realizing it. But for others, there's that one moment where everything changed, and we came to the quick realization that our youth has gone. An AskReddit thread asking people to share those moments is all-too-relatable; check out the answers, and you'll see what I mean.

What if superheroes got old? It seems impossible, right? Because superheroes and cartoon characters don't age and we often regard old age as the period in which our lives begin to decay and we cannot afford our superheroes to go down that path, right? But in order to make them more relatable, Russian artist tried to do just that and the result is hilarious, fun and eye-catching. Leysa Guseva, a Perm-based Russian graphic artist, created a series of illustrations imaginatively called "Pensioners".  This is where we get to see our favourite Marvel, DC and even Disney characters finally taking a well-deserved rest, without giving up their duties entirely.

If we look back in time, when parents apparently didn't seem overly concerned with infant or child safety, we can behold some very weird or outstandingly stupid and dangerous inventions. All of these were really real things, some of them weren't mass produced or marketed, but ALL of them will make you shake your head few times. Via: How To Be a Dad
