Things you begin to realize as you get older:
'That those who sat in judgment of you for years, those whom you thought ideals you had to live up to, are less than you'
Not less in the sense of value, but rather less in since of moral standing, honesty, kindness, integrity, fairness and so on.
But yet for years, and even now, still make it seem as if you're not 'whole', somehow incomplete, inadequate.
You spend a great deal of life trying to live up to some invisible standard that you later on find out they themselves don't even live up to.

As you get older you begin to realize how hard good neutral advice is to come by.
For one, at least in business, never seek advice from anyone who has less than you, from anyone who is financially irresponsible, needy ect.
Cause in their own mind, instead of you getting ahead in business, investing money into your business, in their mind, you should be helping them, just giving your money to them.
Also never seek advice in business, from a competitor, cause they will never tell you the truth about anything.
Also never seek the advice of a dishonest person, they'll lead you off a cliff on purpose.
As you get older you begin to realize how hard good advice is to come by, given by someone who is neutral and who actually wants to see you succeed.

You know you're getting older when you wake up on Saturday morning, turn on TV and still expect to see this Yes, when Saturday mornings still don't feel complete without turning on TV and seeing the Looney Tunes line up, means you, we, are probably getting up there.

You begin to realize as you get older
You begin to realize as you get older that the people on TV aren't smarter than you, they simply have a larger audience.

Aging
Aging can be from 18 to 19 or from 35 to 37 or from 65 to 66, regardless we're all aging.
And even when a kid in 1st grade your outlook is different about the world than a year earlier, and feel as a 2nd grader you know more about life than the 1st graders behind you.
And it's like that throughout life.
But as you age you realize you're kind of leaving echoes of yourself, measuring what you think you knew yesterday with what you think you definitely know today....it's always changing.
One thing I notice, even though more mature as I age, confidence, belief in self, not always there as when younger.
But then again that may have more to do with 'friends' or lack of.
When in school and all, always surrounded by friends, hang out pals, people who actually wanted to hang out with you cause they thought you were 'cool'...
Then when you get out of school, seems, (at least for me) all that just went away and life became very lonely.
Probably cause I moved so dern far away from where raised up.
I should never of moved away from k-12 of kindred, you can never recreate that kind of chemistry, I thought I could, I was dead wrong.
Friends or classmates who have known you since age 6, are almost like family, and you can never recreate that.
At least I can't.
Maybe you can, but I can't.
Then everyone gets married and are like 'screw you pal, you're on your own, don't bother me'.
I'm drifting from original theme, let me get back on point.
Point is, I think my original point is wrong, I realize now age has nothing to do with confidence, it's those around you that give you that, regardless of age.
I think many feel they have less confidence as they age simply cause don't have same 'rah rah rah' crowd around them, but those who do, and are older, have plenty of confidence, like Trump, or celebrities, ect.
I should never have created this post, cause all I'm doing is self correcting now.
But that's what honest people do, is self correct, even if look foolish doing so.
But an honest brain functions like a computer, always measuring and balancing on logic against own logic, playing devils or angels advocate against self.
So ye, scrap this post...but may make a interesting read for someone anyways, so I'll leave it up.

Aging can be fun if on right path, or can be grueling if way off the trail.
Everyone has their own trail they thought they wanted to follow or be on to be successful.
And then there's always the feeling of just wanting to give up, not care, when you start thinking that your physical effort will never ever be enough to propel you to where you ant to be.
And where do most want to be?
In a place in their life where no longer have to worry about income, no longer have to worry about waking up and laboring at some job that pays just enough to pay bills.
Basically the working broke class, when one works just to be broke all the time.
It can be a moral killer after a while.
And with age, sure there's other things you could do, should do, like second job, or this or that, but the pazaz just isn't there anymore.
One job should be enough.
It's depressing when one job isn't enough.

Yep, it's sure been a while since checking in, but my thoughts led me here, to this forum 'house' or neighborhood.
We have billions of brain cells yet some are so singular, I can never be singular, to me being singular is the same as being tied up in a straight jacket.
I need movement of mind and thought.
All that aside, one of the things I realize as I get older is how utterly useless movement is to me.
It's why when home, I never leave, I can't stand driving anywhere when don't have to.

You learn a lot as you age, but one thing for sure is that your body cannot take the same abuse as when younger, not the same bad diet, not the same drinking habits, smoking habits, or any other bad habit one has.
As far as Corona goes, this time off has opened my eyes to how I was falling out of shape.
Just got back from a bike ride, and haven't done that in over 8 months, and could tell balance a bit off, just slightly, in that when use to ride regularly, could easily ride with no hands on handle bars, still can, but can tell not as 'balanced' as use to be.
Slowly but surely as you age, the muscles you don't use regularly do begin to wither.
That's good and bad, bad in that you realize you have to workout as much or more to maintain good health, good in that you'll be healthier.
But working out when older just not as fun, I mean when working out when younger, always doing it for a woman, or 'the fellas' ect, to show off...
But as you age you realize no one really cares about your physic.
So you have to do it for yourself.
And check out this video that tells Corona to pound sand...
If stupid politicians and the media would step out of the way, this thing would be 'licked' by now.

I don't think depression can be related to age always
I think it depends on how you're aging will determine if depression starts setting in or not.
I think people who age with purpose and health intact, do much better than those who begin to feel the effects of age, and on top of that unfulfilled in life's mission to 'self'.
Kind of like winning the lottery at age 50 vs going broke at age 50.
If win the lottery at age 50, you'll feel like you have a new lease on life, but if going broke at age 50...well.
Then add going broke at age 50 and having medical issues, double 'well'.
It all depends on how 'we're' aging will determine a lot, regardless of color class or wealth.

Without energy, you can't do much at all, won't be inspired to do much of anything
As you get older you stop taking energy for granted, not the jumping bean anymore.
And exercising is key to maintaining higher energy levels, I mean just using self for an example, just not exercising regularly over the last 20 days and I feel the difference, big time, even though haven't drank in about 5 days, no matter, without that regular exercise routine, energy levels begin to wane, at least with me.
When own body begins to feel heave to you, not a good sign, your own body should never feel heavy to you, if it does, you're out of condition, whether fat or thin.
Look at fat football players, sure they're fat, but there toned muscles under that fat.
One can be thin, and not have any toned muscle, and body will still feel heavy to them.
As such, even though it's T-day, I need to exercise, I'm not eating any grand meal today, spending the day alone, like any other off job day, so I think I'll walk a few laps at local park, just to get the blood flowing, breathe in some fresh air, and well that's it.
For someone like me, right now, what more is there other than trying to feel OK, in the moment and manage my own health.

Done exercising I did actually go to park and do a few laps, for health sake. Looking good in a photo and feeling good in real life are two different things. But to be honest, while trudging around out there on the field, I felt 'heavy to self', legs felt like lead.  Lead bars or logs, not good, not good at all, but the only way to change that is to get back into condition, for my own sake, cause others really don't care how fit or not fit you are, they could really care the less, so gotta do it for self. Cause when self is gone, you're gone.

At that point where metabolism alone isn't enough to shed pounds I realize now I actually have to work to lose pounds, workout that is. The pounds don't drop off as easily as they did when younger, which means I'm between young and old, skinny old, is when you're like just dying in slow motion. We see it happen a lot to celebrities on TV, like Al Sharpton, and others, who drop all this weight suddenly, only at their age they don't look 'sexy', they look sickly. Thin and fit at 70 isn't the same as thin and fit at 25, skeleton size has changed, ears and nose are larger, skin more course and damaged. The time to be thin and fit is when it matters. That aside, just got done with a decent workout, I don't really jog anymore, rather I walk, jog for about 30 yards, walk, throw ball, ect. I mix it up. A lot of people who were to harsh on body when younger, I notice when in their 50's or 60's, have to have knee surgery and all, football players, heavy runners, and now Bruce or Catlyn Jenner had to have knee surgery, and they're blaming it on his Olympic days, wow, you'd think his knees would have recovered by now after 40 years of not competing.  Who doesn't remember this box growing up if over the age of say, 40. Back then, who'd of thought that even back then, they really wanted to be a woman. Oh well, to each their own. Life is short, we die, then turn back into dust.

As I get older I realize you cannot take your immune system for granted.
I realize that every day there's 1000's of viruses in the air, bacteria, millions, that our body fights off with a strong immune, we never notice.
It's only when your immunes system is comprimised that we get sick, or the sniffles, or ect.
Drinking to much can comprimise the immunes system for sure.
Also lack of sleep, stress, and unhealthy foods.

Getting old, while alone, can be scary at times, cause outside of your job, there's no one who cares about you.
No one to shop for you if feeling sick, nothing, you have to do it all by yourself.
If car breaks down, no one to give you a ride back from the shop, no car to borrow, nothing.
Yes, being alone, although peaceful at times, can be unsettling at other times.
