What's a harsh truth about aging that people don't want to admit? 💭

A few favourites from the original thread:
• Your body starts giving you hints that you can't do all the things you used to, and recovery takes way longer.
• You realize you have less time left than you've already lived, which can be a tough mental shift.

What's yours? Tell us in the comments 👇

    It hits you when your parents start needing help with the little stuff. You spend your whole life looking up to them and then suddenly the roles flip. That’s a tough one to get your head around.

    The mirror thing gets me. I still feel like I’m in my twenties until I catch a glimpse of myself in a shop window and go, oh. The face looking back just isn’t the one I have in my head.

    Honestly, the part that gets me is realising how many people you lose along the way. I’ve already lost my grandparents and an uncle, and my parents are getting on. You start doing the maths of who’s left at family get-togethers and it really changes how you see those days. You don’t take a single one for granted anymore, and that’s a heavy thought to carry around.

    The loneliness bit is real, but it’s not about being alone all the time. It’s more that your circle just naturally shrinks. People move, life gets busy, and suddenly the pub quiz team is down a few regulars. You have to put in actual effort to keep it going.
