I used to think that age equated to percentage of life lived, thus I thought that most people live to close around 100.
But it also made me think that people only get old when they’re like 80.
I mean like actually “old”. The “old” adults were referring to. At that age I considered those 14/15 year old 9th graders old, just a bit different “old”.
A couple of my favorite aging quotes.
“A man has three ages; childhood; young adult; don’t worry you look fine.” No idea who said it.
“A man isn’t old until there are no women his own age he finds exciting. A woman is old the first time she looks for a dress to make her look younger.” Xaviera_Hollander
