re: I love getting older

A few days ago I came across an interesting post by Annie Mueller about getting older:

I remember having a conversation with my Dad right after I graduated college. So I was 22 and he was 52. I don’t remember what we were talking about but I remember when he looked at me and said, “You know, I still feel just the same inside as I did when I was 22.” - anniemueller.com

I was discussing the same thing with one of my colleagues last month and we came to the same conclusion, even though we’re getting older we feel the same as we did when we were much younger.

Probably our brain plays a big part in this, there are young people who seem old (not biologically but mentally) and other people who feel young even though they are in their eighties.
