Cool to have sons grow up to a point where they want to buy Dad a beer. And legally can!
You're not kidding. My son's home for the summer and I called him the other day while he was out and asked him to pick me up some beer on the way home. It was so nice not to have to drive to the store. He's not 21 yet but he has a beard and looks old.

Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The cloer you get to the end, the faster it goes

And when you use that last piece they just throw you away for a new roll. Man this toilet paper analogy really hits home.

remember my Dad looking at me like I was crazy for enjoying the Clash and Sex Pistols.
My dad called me weirdo for buying Motley Cru and GNR albums in the 80s. Almost like today, “why do you listen to a bunch of men dressed as women” It legit pissed him offPosted on 8/8/23 at 1:07 pm to Revelator

Yep, I'm 59 and the last thirty years were a definitely blur, especially when I got married and had kids. I got married late in life, 41, and had my kids at 45. Both kids in HS now, crazy.
I spent my single days doing what I wanted and had no regrets, and one day I woke up, all my friends were married with families. Thats when my dad told me I was going to be the old guy in the bar, reality set in really hard that day.

Marcus Aurelius Use to ponder the same things. Time flying by, how much he missed, etc, people have always thought about these things. Outside of staring at a screen all day you aren’t missing as much as you think. Sitting down talking to spouse, kids, other family/friends is all part of enjoying and appreciating life. You can even appreciate small things at work, at least most people can. Just have to put life above work, work hard when at work, put it aside when off.
Can’t regret missing things in your kids childhood, early marriage, or maybe feel you weren’t present enough then. More than likely you probably were very present, maybe tired or stressed, but still apart of your family’s life. It’s easy to focus on regrets when pondering, for the most part, you probably lived better than what you realize.

Midlife crisis is a real thing
I don’t know how many more summers I’ll get with my daughter before she has a house of her own. Not many. So sad

Its the most valuable part of life. The rest is just fill in time or work.

Absolutely, there are folks, especially men, who beat themselves up years later realizing they didn’t appreciate those moments. Well it doesn’t matter, you still had those moments and you can appreciate them now, even years later.

Those are the only things I regret, missed time with the ones I love. We pass time, we don't really live it.

I think once you get over 45, society becomes unfit for you to thrive in and people pare down friends and social outings for more personal fulfillment. Culture is always geared toward the teen and 20 something.
"Time flies" is an understatement. Most people will never do the things they keep putting off.
I think completely the opposite. I watch the same shows as my younger coworkers and 30 something children (with the exception of Marvel). I try to listen to all kinds of music. I want to keep up with what is going on and "stay young". I'm 61 and no one EVER thinks that's my age. Youth is a mindset in a lot of ways. I still think I can pretty much do anything.
But yes, do things NOW! Experience, not things! If you don't start when you are young, by the time you're my age, you start realizing you with you'd done more. A lifetime isn't enough to experience everything I wish I could do. It's truly a blink of an eye from 35-60.

My son is 22 and about to graduation LSU. He has been a man for a while.
My daughter is just starting her Sr year in HS.
It is gonna crush me when she is gone from the house...we have been together every single day since her mom died 10 years ago.
I dont know when my kids got so old but I cherish every moment. And it sux that my music is old they say.

I know we all can’t stay here forever. So I’m gonna write my words on the face of today.

Yesterday I was trying to take some girl dancing at the Bengal home, today I'm wondering what 60 is going to feel like in 3 years.
I married that chick. She will be 60 in four years. I played the long game with the 50 cent kamikaze's.
