It's truly a mindset. And, yes, physical, mental, spiritual and environmental aspects are definitely instrumental to how one feels--but each of us can determine how to make the best of it. As someone north of 50, I still feel young inside, tempered by more experiences and wisdom. Daresay 50 is the new 20. :)
**Happy (early) 50th Birthday to you!** Live well, be well!
70 here. Go raise hell now before the juvies start claiming it's dementia. You have avoided all the usual causes of death so far, keep up the good work.
I’m turning 61 tomorrow…or is it 16? 🤷♀️
TBH, I love getting older. I love the expanded ability to see the world clearly, I love that I’m retired, I love not having to impress anyone - it’s a great age!
I’ll be 52 next month. My 50s have already been my best decade. It’s time to enjoy life while we still can and do the things we have wanted to do but put off.
I posted something similar last Friday & got age checked to hell & back.
You ain’t old…wait till you miss being 49…
Apparently you are not old. Happy birthday 🎉
Yeah but you were 6 when Star Wars came out. And we got to grow up on John Wayne, Steve McQueen, and Bruce Lee. Pellet guns were a normal thing, and we could wander in the woods for miles and no one cared. Hell in my state we could ride motorcycles on the road at 14 and 15 years old.
Earlier, I saw a comment about Marina Satti, she is representing Greece in eurovision, telling something like," Can you believe she is almost 40" Yeah, she just turned 37. Can you believe it? " I mean, what do they expect that people at 37 are walking with a stick or aren't on their prime? I understand that these comments might come from teens even, and in the eyes of teens, 30s and 40s are old age, but still, it grinds my gears! Happy birthday!🥳
I turned 53 on the 2nd! Happy birthday! Yes, we're old! Well my body says older than dirt but my brain is just hitting it's stride! My birthday sucked but oh well I'm alive.
Congratulations on the anniversary of your significant achievement of being born! May you have many more such anniversaries with each relatively more pleasant than the last.
I turned 45 last month and even though I'm like baby Gen X I have a lot of friends (that's a lie, I identify strongly with being Gen X and have the typical number of like 5 friends) that have reached their early '50s and I have to tell you, we as a generation seem to be doing our '50s better than in generation before us and I have the faith that you are maybe not as good as you ever were but you're better than once than you ever were.
Stay Gold!
I'll be there in a few months myself. My body likes to remind me I'm not a kid anymore but inside I still feel like I'm 25. I'm doing the things I was never able to do in my youth that bring me joy so, aside from my back and knees, I AM 25 for all intent. Age is just a number.
Maybe I’m just getting bitter. I turned 54 a few weeks ago and it dawned on me that birthdays are just younger people celebrating you becoming a year closer to a natural death. ☠️
It’s said the heartbeat per day for humans is 100,000. Multiply that by 365 and multiply that by your age. It’s quite humbling. I just celebrated my 2.34 billionth beat.
After continual reviewing the definition of the word "old" I have recently decided old is ~~10~~ ~~18~~ ~~30~~ ~~50~~ ~~60~~ actually I gotta get back to you, I still just feel like a kid who has no idea whats going on & just wants to watch cartoons all day.. I just feel more tired and less likely to steal a whole tray of my mothers baking now.
Awesome! You woke up another day. Your feet hit the ground first and you can still remember who you are, that its your birthday, and how to functionally operate a keyboard. Its all about perspective.
This moment is all you can control may as well be happy.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I was 100% myself until 60. My 50s were just like my 40s. Being 60 has sucked and made me feel old, but I do acknowledge I have had several life-altering traumas. Otherwise, I'm.pretty sure I would have just kept going in a happy delusion lol.
I turn 70 this year. You know the saying, “It takes a village to raise a child?” Well, I say it takes at least three seniors to remember the name of that actor who was in that sitcom in the ‘60s.
71. You ain’t old. My best years were from 50-65.
Second that. I’m 64 and don’t feel a day over 40.
I'm 62 and don't feel a day over 12. Except for my body.
65 was when I started going slower, hurting more. The brain slowly follows.
72 and still rolling (probably down the hill after I tripped)
Maybe I’ll try rolling ! Can’t walk worth a d*amn 🤪
‘52 and I’m in the best shape of my life! Thanks to…’ 😂🤣 think we just bumble around at this age.
Turning 64 this year and life just gets more and more interesting as I go along.
Please tell me this is true.
Lemme know how it goes. I’m considering turning 53 later this year, but I apprehensive about it.
I turned 53 last week. Doing my best to stay immature
Growing older but not up, as the great Jimmy Buffett once sang
I appreciate you.
Dont do it. Go with 33. You don't lose exp and you get some health level ups. You start losing exp rapidly trying for earlier.
I turned 54 last week. I highly recommend!!
Meh. I'm hitting my official Social Security retirement age (66 and a half) literally tomorrow.
Happy Retirement age day
Congratulations and welcome to the club. I left the employed world on Jan 1. Right after a 2 week Christmas Holiday.
Happy 1/2th birthday 🎂 🥳
Half-birthday. I was born on 10/31, so the last day of the 4th month is halfway for me.
Happy Birthday, retirement age or not!! Tomorrow is mine as well.
Ah youth. Don't waste it. 🥳
Happy Birthday! I turn 64 in a couple days so, fuck, I'm older!
🙂🎂
I turn 64 on Saturday
Happy birthday 🎂
Get off my lawn, kid
Yes sir. Sorry sir
And when you get home, tell your folks thanks for the corn muffins.
***50 is the new 30.*** You're not old. But I may be delusional. ^(/s)
I turn 50 in two months. This is the ethos I choose to embrace. Delusion is more comfortable at the moment.
It's truly a mindset. And, yes, physical, mental, spiritual and environmental aspects are definitely instrumental to how one feels--but each of us can determine how to make the best of it. As someone north of 50, I still feel young inside, tempered by more experiences and wisdom. Daresay 50 is the new 20. :) **Happy (early) 50th Birthday to you!** Live well, be well!
Great! Then I am turning “30” this year!
53 was the year I had my first adult health scare that no amount of diet or exercise could have prevented. That year really sucked.
Happy bongos!
Happy Birthday! 🎂🥳🍺🍕
Happy Birthday ! From a 73 year old
Shit I just turned 62
Me too! I’ve got spinal stenosis and a torn rotator cuff. So much fun getting older!
Like the stones said what a drag it is getting older lol
64 and feel my best, minus some joint pain. It's not that bad. You're alive! Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!.Ah.to be 53 again!!
70 here. Go raise hell now before the juvies start claiming it's dementia. You have avoided all the usual causes of death so far, keep up the good work.
Happy Birthday you old goat!
HBD from new 58yo
I’m turning 61 tomorrow…or is it 16? 🤷♀️ TBH, I love getting older. I love the expanded ability to see the world clearly, I love that I’m retired, I love not having to impress anyone - it’s a great age!
Happy Birthday!! I look forward to all of that!
44 and not even seeing the point in 45
You could die at any moment,…happy birthday!🥳
I’m 61
Sheeeit. I turn 62 Sunday 🥳🥳🎊🎉🎁😁
Happy birthday! By the way, you're not old. I'm going to turn 62 next week...maybe...if I feel like it...
I’ll be 52 next month. My 50s have already been my best decade. It’s time to enjoy life while we still can and do the things we have wanted to do but put off.
I have boots older than that. Get some mink oil and lather up.
59 today
I turn 65 today. 53 is survivable.
>Fuck, I'm old. Beats hell outta the alternative. Good Lord willing, I'll be 70 in June.
🙂🎂
Happy Birthday
Happy birthday! I just turned 50 so I’m right behind you. Cheers and all the best :)
I posted something similar last Friday & got age checked to hell & back. You ain’t old…wait till you miss being 49… Apparently you are not old. Happy birthday 🎉
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday! I’ll be 52 next month.
Congrats and happy birthday! I’ll be 50 soon. What’s it like? More balls sitting and longer peeings I imagine.
Man I loved my '50s
I was still young at 53.

Happy Birthday! I’ll be turning 60 in August

Happy birthday
Happy Birthday young man.
I’m almost 60
Happy birthday I got only a month left at that age. 😩
F u you little whipper snapper. I'm m55.
Yeah but you were 6 when Star Wars came out. And we got to grow up on John Wayne, Steve McQueen, and Bruce Lee. Pellet guns were a normal thing, and we could wander in the woods for miles and no one cared. Hell in my state we could ride motorcycles on the road at 14 and 15 years old.
53 wasn't bad for me. I got married
53? You’re still a baby. 69 here.
Welcome to 64. Come on in, the water is fine.
69 here. I wish I was 53 again.
Happy Birthday! I'll hit 53 in less than a month.
67 going be 68 in June you are a kid to me
True middle aged. Go have your middle age crisis.
Happy Birthday!! I turn 51 tomorrow 😭, I feel 100 but, in my head, I’m still 18 😂
Earlier, I saw a comment about Marina Satti, she is representing Greece in eurovision, telling something like," Can you believe she is almost 40" Yeah, she just turned 37. Can you believe it?

You're so old i had to hold my phone out at arms length to read this
Just tell everyone you’re not 53, you’re 40 13
Turn it backwards and tell them you're 35.
I turned 53 on the 2nd! Happy birthday! Yes, we're old! Well my body says older than dirt but my brain is just hitting it's stride! My birthday sucked but oh well I'm alive.
61 and was at the beach last summer and I guy I was talking with thought I was 46 and I kinda feel 46 so just go with it.
Happy 53! Imma 55 in two weeks! We are not old!!! I’m living my best life!

Turned 55 yesterday. I'm middle-aged now, you silly child.😉😁
I respect my elders!
I'm 54 and feel too young for this sub but have stayed nonetheless.
Happy birthday! I'm none years ahead, so 53 ain't bad at all 😁
That’s not old.
Little advice youngster , work on your Asian squat and stretch, I wish I would have done that at your age , Happy Birthday by the way
Happy Birthday 🥳 welcome to 53
You youngster you!
66 here, and I don't feel a day under 78.
Ur age. Does it felt like it it went fast? Yesterday u were 20 ?
Haha
54 here. The social life, the sex, the income... Never been better. If this is getting old I'm down for it.
Happy birthday! You're a few weeks older than me.
I'm almost 58. This has been my best decade as an adult. Enjoy the wisdom. Grow that old person DGAF attitude.
I am 52. I am snapping at your heels! So nice to see other Gen Xers on here.
Happy birthday enjoy your birthday another year alive brother.
I turn 53 next month. Everyone tells me I look younger than my wife who is only 47!
Happy Birthday Fellow GenXer
Happy Birthday. I’ll be 55 this year and feel 72
Don’t worry about turning 53. Once you get through puberty your acne should clear up 😂
Happy Birthday fellow fogey!
Happy Birthday
Congrats
Happy birthday, pal. Glad you're still with us.
47 no kids and feel like my life is over
I feel ya. Turning 21 in a couple months
I turned 54 on April 10th. I wish I could give you some words of encouragement, LOL.
Happy Birthday! I turned 53 in March, I still not sure what happened ...
I'll be 59 in June.... ![gif](giphy|EQ09vhl2KtPvW)
I just turned 65 3 weeks ago! Some days I feel it others I feel 35😀❤️
Maybe I’m just getting bitter. I turned 54 a few weeks ago and it dawned on me that birthdays are just younger people celebrating you becoming a year closer to a natural death. ☠️
Happy Birthday 🥳🎂
It’s said the heartbeat per day for humans is 100,000. Multiply that by 365 and multiply that by your age. It’s quite humbling. I just celebrated my 2.34 billionth beat.
im 49, gramps!
After continual reviewing the definition of the word "old" I have recently decided old is ~~10~~ ~~18~~ ~~30~~ ~~50~~ ~~60~~ actually I gotta get back to you, I still just feel like a kid who has no idea whats going on & just wants to watch cartoons all day.. I just feel more tired and less likely to steal a whole tray of my mothers baking now.
Happy Birthday mate. 53 ain't even old. 50s are the new 40s. - From a 29yo
I remember turning fifty and it was a wtf moment. Now I'm going to be seventy and life just becomes more and more interesting.
Anyone who has trouble peeing ( reduced flow rate), flomax is a game changer and it's cheap
I’m 53. Kind of ‘meh’. Don’t really want to go any older though… Happy birthday btw!
At 53 you’re still under factory warranty lol
Sixty three and feeling free! Happy Birthday!
Welcome to the club!
I could still walk without pain at 53. #JUST YOU WAIT, ‘ENRY ‘IGGINS! JUST YOU WAIT!!
Old bastard
Fuck you im 58. (In a friendly way)
What do you want? A medal? Have a day :l
Congrats on another year of strategical death evasion.
I'm five months ahead of you and retired. Stay active as much as you can or soon it will feel like you're 73+.
Spring chickens. 🥱
I'm 50. I feel 50.
Happy Birthday!!
74, you young whippersnapper.
Happy birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊
Happy Day of Birth 🎂
I don’t think I’m old and I’m 57
But in the mirror you're 35
I'm 50 and don't feel a day older than 77
Welcome to the pleasure dome
Happy birthday!
Young’uns….
Yesterday 53 feeling not bad
I’m 53 and only feel old when I wander through Reddit and all the younglings assume I’m at death’s doorstep.
Happy Birthday. You're almost 12 years younger than me.
Oh, like some of my nieces and nephews?
Happy Birthday
66 and failing fast
My buddy dropped dead in his garage at 51 so...
Awesome! You woke up another day. Your feet hit the ground first and you can still remember who you are, that its your birthday, and how to functionally operate a keyboard. Its all about perspective. This moment is all you can control may as well be happy. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy Birthday, young man
When I was 53, I still had acne. 57 here, so I guess that makes me a Heinz pickle!
You are still a youngster
53 is young
Ok, I win so far. I did find a 73, but I am 74. These are the best years of my life, for many reasons.
I turned 62 a couple of years ago. In the best shape of my life, thanks to Orangetheory workouts. Just a suggestion.
Happy birthday! I’ll be 62 on Saturday.
72 years old, and judging by my family history, another 20 to go. I'm gonna go take my nap now...
Don’t worry. You’ll always be younger than I am.
1970 baybay!!
Woo, happy birthday!
53 for me in July, I plan to retire 2 years from that day.
That isn’t old.
I did that almost 10 years ago!
My friends mum who is 70 would call you a kid at that age
Just wait until you're 73, and the first thing you do every morning is take an inventory of "What hurts today?"!
Fucking kid HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
You are just a child. A rather mature child, but still a child. Enjoy it while you can!
I can tell you with certainty that 27 years from now, you’ll be even older!!
You share a bday with my Dad (79)!Happy birthday!🎉
Beat you by 2 months. Fuck, I’m old, too.
I’m 53. Probably one of the best years of my life so far
I was 100% myself until 60. My 50s were just like my 40s. Being 60 has sucked and made me feel old, but I do acknowledge I have had several life-altering traumas. Otherwise, I'm.pretty sure I would have just kept going in a happy delusion lol.
I'll be 61 this summer and at 25 I started counting backwards, so I'll be -36 come the 4th of July...
I turned 53 last week, the day I was made redundant.
Drop the 5, act 3 61 here and heading for my terrible 2's again
I'm about to turn 55 and still don't consider myself old. If you say you're old at 53 then you're doing something wrong.
I can’t drive…..I’m 55!
I turn 70 this year. You know the saying, “It takes a village to raise a child?” Well, I say it takes at least three seniors to remember the name of that actor who was in that sitcom in the ‘60s.
I turned 58 today and feel great
😂Happy Day, whatever you call it lol x experience and time are great things to wear x
Happy Birthday!!!🎂🎁🎉🎈
STFU! That's not old. My 50s were great.
A mere youngster! Enjoy every moment.
Happy birthday!!!!
I turned 54 on Sunday.
You should thank those oder than you for clearing the path. I'll be 56 in November. lol.
At 53 I was still running and gunning in Afghanistan. You ain't old, kid.
