I met TWO people I went to school with yesterday on different trains.

Talking about life and it hit us, like, we’re getting older.

When did you realise- I’m actually a real adult, I’m getting older!

I realised last week when I received a letter from the DWP about my Sate Pension start date (in 3 years time) that I'm getting older; up till then, I'd considered myself young.

I feel my absolute oldest on my kid's birthday. I feel older on that date than I do on my actual birthday. Because as he gets older so do I and every single year I think I'm not old enough to have a kid as old as he is.

I keep telling myself that I have the body of a 18yr old,the mind of a 2yr old and the carcass of a 70yr old,that way I am covering most decades I am actually 70 in August, but I have been told that I look in my fifties. At the end of the day you are as young as you feel,and you should take each day as it comes.

I clearly recall my 7th birthday. I sat in the window and thought 'that's it! I'm a grown up'

After that I think I was about 28 or 29 when other people started treating me as if I knew what I was doing.

I've never really felt 'old' but I notice a lot of people treating me as if I am. I think that's when you realise you're no longer in the first flush of youth, when other people think you're old

I was a "mature" student at 21, I was depressed and repressed and my mates nicknamed me "auntie".

Now I'm menopausal and my own brood is off to uni, so aiming for a second childhood until my joints give out.

I turned 50 a few weeks ago, and haven’t stopped partying since. Decided to grow old disgracefully, enjoy life to the fullest:

Every gig - tickets bought without hesitation

Every holiday allowance - taken and maxed out

Invitations to go out - accepted.

Life is too short to bugger about.

Seeing school friends at the funeral of one of my closest friends. It struck me athat we're adults now. Real adults. Proper jobs, mortgages. Families. We look different. Sound it.

At the same time... what a gift it is to get older. To have years ahead to see the world, to love, to laugh and cry. The people we've yet to meet and the experiences we'll have with those we already know.

When I see my grey hairs (seven) I have a brief 'oh fuck' moment. Start thinking of all the things I still want to do. And then I think about when my hair will have more grey, an uncountable amount. The life I'd have led.

Yeah, Fab makes me feel quite young frequently. I'm going to embrace getting older though. There's such beauty in it.

Funerals. Used to be the older generation going one by one. Now I'm older, I've seen a lot of school friends passing, and a few of the younger generation.

I still have some uncles on my dad's side alive-although quite old.
