The cool thing about getting older is pretty much none of the things. But since we all live in the time dimension there’s not a lot you can do to avoid it.
That being the case, we can cope with our aging dreads through the most healthy of psychological mechanisms – tweets.
Tweets about climbing that hill. Tweets about taking a break on that hill. Tweets about deciding hills are stupid and taking a nap.
Enjoy your pre-nap ageing jokes, grandpa.
10. Looking up
Sorta like how my mom will always be taller than me in my mind, even though I passed her like 15 years ago.
I’m almost 44 yrs old, but I’ll still watch an episode of Friends from 1994 and still think those 20-somethings are older than me.

9. Constant contact
Weirdly, the thing I’m supposed to be doing right now is literally reading and commenting on this tweet.
adulting is having something to do all the time. like even as you are reading this you know there’s something you have to do but are you doing it? no. will it make you panic later? yes.

8. The wiping arm
You’re gonna find all kinds of fun new problems you’d never anticipated.
Getting older is fun. I slept weird on the shoulder of my wiping arm and now I have to shower after I poop.

7. Stay firm
Gotta make sure I don’t get ripped off, these things are gonna see a lot of mileage.
One minute you’re young and carefree and another you’re reading non slip sock reviews on Amazon.

6. Stick your neck out
You think you’re the only one around here who can poop and cry?

5. Take me out
This is an attack on me personally and I don’t appreciate it.
You’re 30s consist of ignoring your body’s check engine light while self medicating with alcohol and take-out

Personally, my retirement plan is holding out for someone to invent a Benjamin Button serum. That’s coming, right?
