Innocence goes away and you begin to see things more or less for what they are. For me personally it's pretty painful. I am in my mid twenties and steadily going into debt for school. I feel like I am a failure for my age even though I am giving my chosen path everything that I have. I want to be able to make decent money so that I can at least provide them some comfort and spoil them with things like they've spoiled me. It's also painful seeing your parents grow older. It's like one day you realize that their beard is grayer, and that they're walking a but different than they used to. Friends grow up and change. Your friend from 3rd grade is now a nurse at a big hospital. The strange kid that everyone picked on is now a successful software developer making loads of money. The nice girl from your history class is a mother of 2 and works at Walmart. You become aware of this flow that life has. It's humbling, calming, and terrifying all at the same time.

It sucks. I may be dead by the end of the week because they can't get my blood sugar under control.

Im not necessarily old (27) but I've been here long enough to see my parents begin to visibly age, lost all my grandparents and that really gives you a different perspective of age and life. At 16 I thought 60 was OLD. Now I feel bad for 70 year olds that can't get around as good as the once did because in my eyes they're not really THAT old. I joined the marines at 18 and now at 27 I look back on memories that feel like just yesterday but we're almost a decade ago. A lot has changed with my body since then too lol. I used to be able to shovel anything and everything down my throat and not gain a pound. Now I have to watch what I eat! Aches and pains after long motorcycle rides that I never dealt with 10 years ago, etc. It's interesting and I cherish all of it but like another on here said all of it is truly humbling.

The physical process happens so slowly that you hardly notice it but by eating a balanced diet and taking regular exercise it need not be an unpleasant experience.Mentally I have dealt with it for the last forty years by telling myself that old is always 15 years away.

I'm a 47W. Physically my knees are not what they used to, I still get acne, my eyesight as changed and I started to get painful joint pain in my hands. Mentally I care a lot less what others are thinking of me. I wear what I like. I lost that jealous part of me I can be sincerely happy for other people good fortune. I see my friends and family getting older and sometimes I think that it doesn't includes me. I still feel like I'm 25 sometimes. I still love to learn new things and I keep an open mind. As a middle age woman dating is hard. We are really unwanted by Men our age that sometimes have unrealistic expectations about how we should look like. No I don't look like Kate Beckinsale but seriously who does? We want to be love too and sometimes it feels like a unattainable goal.

You start to see that you can't run/be active for as long as you once could and that you start to have mystery joint pains.

Lots of negativity in the answers so far, but I'll throw in some positivity. I'm 38. The invincibility of youth is gone. You can't party until 5 am anymore, abuse your liver, neglect your body's well being. Things like exercise become a necessity more than an outlet for good looks. You start to see those who established those better habits in their 20s are WAY ahead of you. But it's also very sobering. You stop seeing little things as the end of the world because you've been there and done that. Little things that used to really piss you off just roll off your back. You start to see the stupidity of your youth and the wisdom in conventional knowledge (as well as some of the stupidity in conventional knowledge). You start to be able to watch life happen more and enjoy the goofiness of it rather than getting worried about getting wrapped up in all the pointless shenanigans.
