The Greatness of Getting Old
A few nights ago, Sophie and I had some new friends over to play games. They’re younger than us but also our contemporaries in the sense that they’re a married couple with jobs. We had a great time, but things got a little weird when we started talking about where we were on September 11, 2001. I was starting my second year at my first post-college job; they were in fifth grade.

I felt old.

Maybe it’s because I’m past my mid-40s now and careening toward my next decade, but I’ve been thinking a lot about getting older. Most of the things we associate with aging — wrinkles, slowing metabolisms, ticking biological clocks — aren’t good. This can make celebrating another birthday seem like a bit of a tragedy. But it shouldn’t be.

Whether you’re in your early 20s or a decade (or two) past that, consider these reasons we discuss in this episode about getting older being the way to go (as if you had a choice!).
