So, there’s a subreddit with a name that my mother and general decency wouldn’t allow me to type out, but it’s based on a quite common saying expressing a somewhat comedic realization and acceptance of being old.

The online group has been around since 2013 and, as of this listicle, it has 160,000 members.

As you might have probably understood by now, the subreddit features photos of nostalgic things, concepts, ideas as well as memes that throw us back to the good ol’ days.

Judging by the subreddit’s flairs, the majority of its content is aimed at Millennials, Xennials and Generation X. While Zillennials and Gen Z are also included, they have an “observer” tag.

These are more than just pictures and memes. They are actually also the memories that, say, one of those hulking television sets unearthed in our brains. After all, it’s not just a TV—it’s the memory of how it took 4 family members to lift it up and relocate it into a better spot so that everyone at your Thanksgiving party could now watch the holiday game.

And the older you get, the more such memories you’ll have.

One of the bigger benefits of growing old is retirement. Sure, existential dread might kick in, but instead of work, you can now redirect your attention to the other things in life.

This is a great opportunity to finally pursue your dreams. Things like learning new languages, taking trips, writing—whatever—is now suddenly on the table for you to realize.

Being old also means having significantly more time for loved ones and socializing. And if you have grandchildren or even (grand) nieces or nephews, get involved in their lives. Not only will that help you fill that potentially lonely void, but research has shown that kids need involved and caring grandparents to fully develop on a social and emotional level.

But if you plan on being a bitter loner who just wants everyone to get off their lawn, you can look forward to a guaranteed minimum income, medicare and social security, as well as senior discounts, and other senior-focused benefits that come with age.

In any case, you might end up with a happier outlook on life as your age will entail more comfort with who you are and you’ll be better equipped to deal with challenges.

Now, if you want to age well, you gotta look after yourself. Eating healthy is a key factor in having a higher life quality when you grow old, so losing 5% of your body weight, avoiding processed meats, and skipping packaged foods are great ways you can make a significant change to how you feel in seniority. Or maybe even until then.

It goes without saying, movement and exercise are also a must in making sure your body lasts. Intense exercise intervals—e.g. 15 minute bursts—reverses natural decline of muscles with age.

And that’s besides all the other benefits of exercise: improved brain health, better weight management, reduced risk of disease, bone and muscle strength, among other things.

Ultimately, your brain needs enough stimulus to keep it from declining as well. Activities that involve movement, socializing, and creativity have great potential to keep the brain active so as to not have it age too fast.

Lastly, stay connected and socialize. Apparently, being social helps outweigh negative habits such as smoking and lack of exercise. If that means entering retirement without quitting your day job, that’s fine—it just expands your circle of friends, allowing for higher self-esteem, greater empathy for others, and making us more cooperative.

So, accept the fact that you’re getting old—we all are—and embrace the finer things in life. Like checking out the subreddit about things that remind you of your age, and checking out another Bored Panda article on the same topic.

But if you truly need to retire for the night, at least leave a comment of the things you miss from your childhood in the comment section below!
