So, I've got this friend who just turned 52 and decided it was time for a midlife crisis. They bought a sports car, started wearing leather jackets, and even attempted to learn breakdancing. I'm thinking, "Dude, you're not having a midlife crisis; you're having a midlife party!"
But it got me thinking about midlife crises in general. Why is it always the sports car and the leather jacket? Is there a midlife crisis starter pack that everyone gets when they hit a certain age? I'm imagining it comes with a coupon for hair dye, a mixtape of '80s rock ballads, and a guide on how to Instagram your newfound rebelliousness.
I asked my friend, "Is this really necessary? Can't you just buy a plant or take up knitting like a normal person?" But hey, if a sports car makes you feel alive again, who am I to judge? Just remember, when you're cruising in your convertible with the wind in your hair, make sure your dentures are securely in place.
You know, I recently met someone who's 52. Yeah, 52! They say age is just a number, but when that number starts getting larger, it's like trying to fit into skinny jeans after a big holiday meal. You can do it, but it's a struggle, and there might be some uncomfortable moments.
I asked this person what it feels like to be 52, and they said, "Well, it's like being a fine wine. The older I get, the more expensive I become." I thought, "That's great, but at this rate, you're going to be worth more than my student loans by the time you hit 60."
Getting older does have its perks, though. You get to use the phrase "back in my day" and automatically sound wise. But let's be honest, if you're saying "back in my day" and referring to a time when dial-up internet was a thing, maybe it's time to update your references.
So here's to everyone who's 52 or older, proving that age is just a number, but sometimes that number comes with an AARP membership and a collection of "Golden Oldies" CDs.
You ever notice how people who are 52 love to drop wisdom bombs on you? It's like they have a secret manual on life that they're finally allowed to share. My friend who just turned 52 looked at me and said, "You know, life is like a roller coaster. You just have to ride it." I'm thinking, "Yeah, and sometimes you get motion sickness and want to puke."
But there's something endearing about the wisdom that comes with age. They've been through it all — the highs, the lows, and the questionable fashion choices. They'll tell you things like, "Don't sweat the small stuff" and "It's never too late to follow your dreams." Meanwhile, I'm over here stressing about choosing the right filter for my Instagram post.
So here's to the 52-year-olds who are the unsung heroes of life advice. Just remember, wisdom may come with age, but so do dad jokes, and we have to take the good with the groan-worthy.
I was hanging out with someone who's 52 the other day, and we got into a heated debate about technology. They were like, "In my day, we had to walk five miles to school, uphill, in the snow." I'm sitting there thinking, "Well, in my day, I can order a pizza without even talking to a human. Beat that, grandpa!"
But it's fascinating how technology has changed over the years. They grew up with rotary phones, and we have smartphones. They had cassette tapes; we have streaming services. They had to go to the library to do research; we have Google. I guess the only thing that hasn't changed is the frustration of trying to set up the VCR to record a TV show. Some things are just timeless struggles.
And you know you're dealing with someone from a different generation when they say, "I remember when a computer had less memory than my pet rock." Yeah, well, my computer can do more calculations in a second than your pet rock did in its entire existence.
