Laura Wasser, a family law expert and chief of divorce evolution at Divorce.com, told Bored Panda that a positive outlook on getting older involves accepting it as a natural part of life and concentrating on the upsides.

“As time goes by, we acquire valuable experiences, insight, and a better comprehension of ourselves and our surroundings. Instead of getting hung up on the unavoidable bodily changes, let's appreciate the wisdom, personal development, and connections we've made over the years,” she explained.

According to Laura, “keeping our spirits up and feeling thankful help us nurture a happier, more satisfying attitude toward aging while still looking after our mental and emotional health.”

Being in a relationship as you grow older offers many positive aspects. Laura explained that one of the main perks is the sense of companionship. “Sharing life experiences, memories, and moments with someone you care about makes life richer and more satisfying,” she said.

“Additionally, being in a healthy partnership leads to better mental well-being. Research indicates that people in strong relationships experience increased happiness, reduced stress, and a lower likelihood of depression.”

We also wondered why our society is so obsessed with staying forever young. Laura explained that “people love the idea of staying young because it reminds them of a time full of chances, energy, and new beginnings.”

“Being young means having more freedom and fun, and as we age, we often miss those simpler times without many responsibilities. By trying to stay youthful, we hope to keep enjoying life like we did when we were younger,” she said.

Moreover, our society values and promotes youthfulness, Laura argues. “You can see young people and new ideas in movies, music, and ads, which makes us think that being young is something worth chasing after.”

i hate grocery shopping. The Safeway near me has now blocked off access of the exiting area from the entrances, and the exit area has the public washroom. I used to just go under the chains or lift the gates up in the closed checkouts. Now they chain shopping carts in the closed checkout aisles. So if I need to use the washroom I have to push past people in the tight check out lanes, or try to hold it and wait to pay for something. It's giving me so much anxiety. what if there's a fire? What if someone has realized they needed a shopping cart instead of a basket? What if someone just needs to leave because they realized they forgot their wallet? Why do we have to be trapped in? That's what it feels like. Trapped.

I still find guys in their 40s up too old and seem creepy on dating apps where there's so many young women. Or maybe I just find dating apps creepy in general. Idk. I have bf now, anyways and I hope we grow old together and I'll never have to resort to trying a dating app out again. Last time I got hit up by the same guys and recommended the same guys week after week. Tried looking for someone new, messaged a few guys. I had on my profile I'm looking for a long term commitment but men would just ask if I'm looking to hook up. Shows no one reads profiles, or takes females seriously. One guy started messaging me back. After the 3rd message he was like "Are we going to meet up or what? I'm not doing this messaging b******t." Like, whoa bucko. Chill out. So I immediately blocked him cos that was scary af. It was a learning curve, finding more about who I am, really, and discovered I need more time to heal from my previous abusive relationship and come to terms that I'm more asexual.

You can't discipline online trolls. You can't discipline kids who are not yours. Adults have lost so much power in just one generation of kids.

Two friends and I were backpacking in the high Sierras in California. Dan and I had been up this same trail twice before with no problems. It starts around 8000’ (2440 m) and goes up to a pass at 11,400’ (3480 m) in about 8 miles. This time however, by 9000’ we were all quite tired and took a long break. We moved on and up and within another mile we were all ready to stop but the canyon is very narrow with no camping spots. We had to continue, but we searched for campsites every step.

By 10,000’ we were all nearly exhausted, one of us in particular. He threw off his pack and was going to camp right in the trail, which is not allowed. I volunteered to scout ahead for a campsite. Maybe 1/3 of a mile on and about 10,300’ I found a nice area next to a beautiful lake. I left my pack and went back to get my friends. We were moving on shaky legs. It took forever to set up camp, fix dinner, pump water, clean up the cooking stuff, and so on. We were in bed before dark and slept like logs.

From then on, for the rest of the week, we were fine. But it surely highlighted aging. (I was 70).

yeah, i commented on that eyebrow post - but first time the barber asked me if I wanted him to trim my ears. I managed to not say a lot of the thoughts that flew through my head and just go with yes please. -- I saw the little runt sitting there on a log I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said, "Yoda" Y-O-D-A, Yoda Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda

Today I took a broken wooden bed down to my local recycling centre and as I was clearing it out of my car I found two or three good pieces of wood. I genuinely stood there for about a minute looking at those pieces and thinking "should I throw these away, they could come in handy". I had no actual plan to use them for anything , I just couldn't part with some (potentially) useful wood.

My daughter has been pretty familiar with VHS tapes and VCRs. Didn't think I would have to explain anything to her. After we finished watching a movie I got engrossed in BP and let the tape just go to the end. I get snapped out of my world to her saying "It stops on it's own?" and then she hears the whirring "And it rewinds on it's own?" all amazed. I thought she knew that. Apparently not so. So, then I asked her if she knew what a device called a "tape rewinder" was. Nope, she said. Got to explain the convenient, but highly unnecessary, technology some people had where if you were too lazy and impatient to rewind a video before watching another you could put it in a small machine in which it's only sole purpose was to rewind VHS cassettes. Her grandma and grandpa have/had one but she never noticed.

I turned 31 a couple of weeks ago. Was at work, talking to my intern about movies. Just an innocent conversation about childhood favourites, hers where the ones about golden retriver puppies playing basketball. Cute right? It was, until she said the words "oh yes, my parents even bought them for me on the type of movie that you put IN TO THE TV". I'm ofcourse thinking she means vhs tapes. No no. The round, flat ones. She was talking about frikkin DVDS! I have never, ever felt so old before.

We've all got a favourite ring on the stove, a favourite mug, a favourite vegetable strainer. We all own clothes that once decended from out "best stuff" to "bumbling around the house in" and, eventually, back to going out in. These are the hidden truths of getting old that nobody discusses.

Ooh, I have one! I was at a shop and they played the song "say my name", but it was a cover version, and I realised that kids nowadays don't even know the original by Destiny's Child, which is wild to me because when that came out, I already considered myself "too old for new music", lol
