It starts without warning. Suddenly, your breath becomes labored every time you go up a flight of stairs. You take more frequent afternoon naps, not because you can, but because you're actually need to. TikTok isn't just a song by Ke$ha anymore. You actually go home before 9pm not because of a curfew, but because you just absolutely cannot anymore.

And that's how it start. The fatigue, the weariness, the feeling of distress that turns young men...thirty.

If you have experienced any of the above symptoms, you might just be me. Over the past 2 years or so, I began a transformation that many people are absolutely perplexed about; I became old. Sure, my face is still that of a prepubescent boy, but I can no longer keep up with them young un's anymore. My body is wracked with cracks and aches. Those healthy exercise sessions make me want to die. I don't know how to use TikTok.
