Girls, as you've gotten older, what are some things that made you "feel" older?

I've found that as I've gotten older, I didn't feel any older after turning 25. My body isn't as resilient as it used to be though but it's held up a lot better than I thought it would. I try to take care of myself (eat healthy, exercise etc...) and even though I had 2 kids, I did so at a young age so my body bounced back.

The only thing that made me feel "old" was that 40 year rite of passage where my boobs got squished flat to make sure they're not secretly trying to kill me :P

The ONE thing is my eyes popping open at 3am... a full 90min earlier than I've woken up ever in my life. There's nothing I can do to get back to sleep, nothing to do but sip an early-morning tea and wait for the sun to rise.

And ofc my one injury from my days as a college athlete tears into me pretty fiercely before a big snow storm. Blah.

I have a birthday coming up in a couple weeks and I'm feeling older just 'cuz of the whole "I'll be over a quarter of a century" mind set but I guess that's all just in my mind, which, is getting older too. I'll be a crazy old cat lady in no time. 😳

Before I used to barely sleep. My friends and I used to be out all night/day and be fine. Now , one night out makes me so tired the next day. It's like damn, I'm getting older.

Talking to someone younger and wondering if they are even speaking English.
