“Getting older
is realizing
your body keeps receipts
for things your younger self did
for entertainment.
As a kid,
we jumped off swings,
climbed impossible things,
fell directly onto concrete,
then stood up like:
‘I’m okay.’
No recovery.
No stretching.
No mysterious pain two days later.
Now?
I sleep slightly wrong
and my neck files a formal complaint.
At this point,
my knees make sounds
that belong in horror movies.
And why does standing up
suddenly require preparation?
There’s always that little pause first.
Hands on knees.
Deep sigh.
Spiritual negotiation.
Honestly,
aging is just your body
slowly turning against you
while your mind still believes
you’re 23.
You see stairs
and immediately calculate effort.
You get excited about orthopedic shoes.
You injure yourself
doing absolutely nothing impressive.
‘How did you hurt your back?’
Sleeping.
I was sleeping.
But somehow,
inside every adult
is still the same chaotic kid
who thought jumping off moving objects
was a personality trait.
The spirit is willing.
The joints,
however,
have contacted legal representation.” 😌🦴☕️
