how old do you feel?

Post Reply New Topic

I just wish my complexion matched my mental age.

I feel like a teenager. I feel like a teenager who has a mad crush on The Kinks and The Monkees.

According to my interests, I should have been born around 15 years earlier (so I’d have time to become old enough to understand/be allowed things by the time they came out). That would make me... oh, look, 42.

Hehe, Need i 'Say' More at 60, Yes; as the Photo Shows Above i feel about 21 Years-Old at 60;
But When i was actually 21 Years-Old, i Felt About As Old As my Grandmother at 80; And then
When i got to 22, i Felt Ageless and Timeless Again for a While; And then at 26, i Felt Old again;
Young Again at 29, When i Met my 19-Year-Old Beautiful Wife; And Oh God About a 1001
From the ages of 47 to 53, Living in the Dead Zone of so-called Autistic Burn-out then;
Steady Rise in Age from about Age 37 to 47, starting with the Death of my Only Child;
But it's True, After Recovering From the Dead Zone at 53 And Becoming
A Public Dancer After Shut-in, at 1001, in my Home for 66 Months with
the Worst Pain Known to Humankind from Wake to Sleep; Type
Two Trigeminal Neuralgia, commonly Understood to be
the Suicide Disease, no Drug Will touch, like a Dentist
Drill In my Right Eye and Ear; I must say becoming
A Public Dancer at age 53; Now at 60 With 13,513 Miles
Under my Belt; What i found is, Empirically Measurably, my Leg
Strength increased by 3 Times what is was before at Leg Pressing
500 Pounds at 53; and Now 1520 Pounds Max approaching 60 until
the Military Gym Closed down; Where my Home Gym won't quite hold that
much weight; hehe; Anyway, Science Shows Moving Meditation Is a Literal Fountain
of Youth; And at 60 Years-old, i continue to Document a Journey For what this Fountain
Of Youth Will Do Fully Measurable, in many Empirical Ways, Now; like Writing creatively
100 Thousand Words a Month for a Longest Epic Long Form Poem Ever Written in the
History or Herstory of Humankind at 8.3 Million Words in 83 Months; Same Span of Dates For Public
Dance; Yes, When one Achieves Autotelic Flow At a Continuous Peak of Plateau, Science Does Measure 400 to
500 Percent Increases in Creativity and Productivity too; but that's Just with Still Meditation, only a few short
Periods during the Week; Meditation also is shown to regenerate Gray Matter in the Brain; Where 50-Year-
Old Brains studied look more like Youthful 25 Year-Old Brains; Why Grow Old early if you don't have to:

i say no.

In Short and Long; Life Gets Better if You actually Make it better; Find a Way And Live Long and Prosper, more.

And Whatever You do; Like what happened with me in College at age 23, when i was so sure, i would be
Just as strong at age 60, based on the example of Jack Lalanne, in my Triple Major then; The Master's Level
Sociology Teacher in a Course on the Sociology of Aging told me, i was Over-Zealous to believe such a thing
as Strength Peaks out at age 30; And that's what the folks in the Anthropology Major and even Health Science
Major thought too; but true, i had already seen at least one case-study that proved them all wrong; Don't Make
Yourself a Couch-Potato Average; Believe You Will do more than you ever did before; But that's not enough now;
take the
first step
and first word;
or whatever You Do;
And Keep Doing it; never
paying 'any mind' to the Naysayers
in life that give you a label or a study that
says it's not possible to Do what you say you are gonna do.

Thing is; i record the Evidence; All that i say is provable too..

I don't know how ages are supposed to feel, so I don't get any data that way. My physical abilities are changing in statistically typical ways, but my mental development has never landed in a peer group of similar ages.

Personally, I've never felt connected to my age. When I was a kid I felt old, now that I'm an adult I feel young (most times). When people see me they assume I'm at least 16-18, an age range I can't relate to. Age has always been a really weird concept to me.

About 16 and I look it too and I think that affects how ppl treat me so it's like a cycle.

I just turned 38, but I feel like part of me is stuck at like 15.
