Is this what aging feels like

The same people who were celebrating school holidays due to severe rain is celebrating Fridays due to bad server.

I have a feeling I have become dumb/dumber as the folks around me grasp things much faster ! I am a 33 year old guy and have been having this feeling since last couple of years. Anyone else in the same boat and if yes,what could be the reason behind this and potential solutions ?

Age is a very controversial topic (which I find surprising, though I kinda understand why). Many people crib about growing up, and often remain too deep in the nostalgia of their youth - forever wishing to go back. Personally, I like growing older. I can see myself having improved significantly from how naïve I used to be. I’m not looking forward to creaky bones, degrading brain capacity and the eventual downfall of human civilisation (just speculating). But I feel that aging - and eventually dying - is what gives any sense of progression and conclusion to life. Would appreciate perspectives from others on Grapevine. What do you guys think? :) (Also, sorry if I ruined your day by randomly reminding you that you’re ageing. 🥲)

This causes a serious meltdown in an instant. Just sharing here so that if anyone reads this.. reach out to your folks and love them with all. 🙂

when we stop singing along to the lyrics of Prateek Kuhad or The Local Train, but just listen, looking either up at the moon and stars or down to the earth and maybe walking around

Ever since 2020, it feels like years have passed within weeks. I can't possibly explain this in words, but for some reason, time has been passing a bit too fast. Before I realized it, my graduation was completed, someone who would seem a grown-up to the person I was before the lockdown. Festivals don't seem to make me happy now, and neither does having friends and going out with anyone...everything seems normal and everything goes by before I can process anything on my mind. Is it just me? I can't feel any emotions like I used to, is it something that all grown-ups go through/suffer with?

For me it's a yes.
