20 Warning Signs That Tell You Old Age Is on the Horizon

Signals that your youth has come to an end.

Do you remember the good old days?

When the world was a less complicated place to live and things actually made sense — for the most part.

A time when you knew what all the latest trends were and listened to music that had a message — the songs, they really did speak to you.

Do you remember when each day was a new adventure, a journey through the unknown?

Well, unfortunately, those days don’t last forever and sooner or later, you have to grow up.

You can try to fight against it, vow to stay cool, remain hip, and not give in to ‘the man’.

But regardless of your efforts and no matter how hard you try, eventually adulthood will creep up on you and get you in the end.

For me, my youth is all but over, I’ve crossed over to the ‘other side’ and the reason I know this has happened is because of these twenty warning signs.

You know you’re getting old when:

1. You feel sharper on a Monday morning than you do on a Friday afternoon.
2. You view the weekend as a time for rest and recovery rather than a chance to party.
3. A good night out ends at 11.00 pm
4. The music you hear on the radio genuinely does just sound like noise.
5. You mute the adverts on T.V or radio to avoid listening to the rubbish they are trying to sell you.
6. Moving house involves looking for places within good schooling zones instead of somewhere that has a potential man cave.
7. Moving away from city life and living in the countryside — where your closest neighbour is 5-miles away — is the ultimate goal.
8. The youth of today seem so strange and illogical in ALL that they do.
9. You say things like, “Kids these days don’t know how easy they have it.”
10. Your mission in life is to embarrass your kids in public.
11. You stop getting asked for I.D when buying alcohol.
12. Or when you do get asked the cashier says, “You should take it as a compliment.” — piss off.
13. Hangovers become a real thing and it takes three days minimum to recover.
14. You find yourself making animalistic noises as you stand up — or sit down.
15. You get pins-and-needles in your legs if you sit on the toilet for more than 5-minutes.
16. Getting fat is easy, losing it is not.
17. Socializing becomes a chore.
18. You care less about what people think.
19. You discover that most people are full of sh*t.
20. You become a master of the tut, head shake, and eye-roll.

But the main thing that occurs and it’s by far the best part of leaving your youth behind;

You begin to appreciate the small things in life and realize what really matters.

Stay safe, stay strong, and be happy.
