'75 here. All you youngsters can get the hell off my lawn.
Actually, what I've noticed is that I don't so much feel older as I do the "kids" keep getting younger. Was I like that at their age? Yep, probably, but I felt mature and adult then. To some degree. That thing about how you never really feel like an adult? I still get that a little bit. But after three decades of being an adult, it has also set in a bit.
Mostly, I'm opinionated, and I remember things from the past 40 years because I was alive for them, so they aren't history to me, they are a part of the life I experienced.
So as you guys get older, I think you'll find that - like whatever happens after Trump, unless it does continue to get worse (which is quite possible), there will come a time when a younger generation won't know what it felt like to live under this fascism, and you, having lived through it, will have your mind blown because it's history to them.
Which I guess has helped me when I think about figures from history and the past in general. While I can't imagine living before the era of cars, I do know that whatever time frame you look at - to the people living at that time, it was all contemporary and modern. And so when you see people that had relationships with other people and arguments and such, you really do realize that we're all human.
Also, the older I get, the more I realize just how precious life is. And when you're young, you really are going to live forever. But every single day that passes is gone forever. Every month takes you further forward. Each year goes by and never comes back. When your 20s are gone, they won't ever return. Don't let that upset you, just make sure you aren't coasting along and wasting time, waiting for what comes next, because if you spend you life waiting for what comes next, you die without anything ever coming next. Don't "make every moment count" - do take time to relax. Just make sure that you are not ONLY relaxing, and don't put everything off to the future. Do what you can to enjoy the life you have as best as you can while also trying to keep improving things.
