My best years were between 40 and 47: my body was still mostly problem free, I was already financially secure, and I had enough life experience to know stupid when I saw it.
Then at 47, the progressives came onto the scene. Then shortly after, the small aches in the morning for no reason. Then I started to get a gloved finger up my ass on a regular basis to check my prostate…
That’s also when I realized aging comes in bursts, and my first big burst was around that time - just before 50 - and it fucking sucked. That’s the first time I felt limited in some of the things I did before, and that’s the first time I felt on the decline for real.
If you’re 40, enjoy it bubba, because it’ll be over before you know it.
For me it was 54. Before that I was like “let’s go down this mountain on bicycles!” or “hé look I walk on my hands!!!” and all kinds of teenageish things. I always said “it’s incredible I’m 53 and absolutely no hurt anywhere! knees, back, etc all 100% perfect!!!” I was able to do all kind of job in my house, the backyard, etc, never had any pains or aches.
Then at 54 it looks like andropause hit my body quite violently saying “dude you’re not 20 anymore!!”.

Glad to hear that at least one good thing came from it all.

Also got the finger and the camera, twice.
