A younger colleague of mine was going to New York last year:
Youngster: what would you recommend seeing in NY
Me: 9/11 museum/memorial
Youngster: What's that?
I explain, she doesn't believe me because who would drive a plane into a building? 😔

I recently saw a meme making fun of 9/11 and thought "Oh wow we're joking about that now?". Idk I think it happened too recently to be turned into memes/joked about. But maybe that's just me.

For sure it is not a joke and we clearly havent learnt because history repeating itself. The day 9/11 happened a foreign man got shot out of pure fear and racism and now look its happening again

I had a 2 hour meeting about AI today and I came out and a young apprentice asked how it was and I said 'we're one step away from skynet becoming conscious' which might be niche I know but he'd never heard of the terminator 💀 .

The fact that I am a kind and good person. Seriously. Because its how I was raised. And its how I raised my kids. But there is no room in the world for this nowadays apparently. And THAT makes me feel old. And sad.

This thread makes me feel old.

A girl i know turned 18 on sunday. Her mum was born in 1992 and her gran is 50. Im 41!

Also my friend who is a week younger than me became a grandmother at 37. I had a 1yo at that point.

Also watching fb reels and one of the videos was songs turning 27 this year, I had all of them on cd single.

I just saw a post about a song which came out in 2001, and my brain said ‘oh wow, I can’t believe that was 15 years ago’. Then I realised 🫩

That makes me feel sad, rather than old.
I presume it happened before they were born, but it seems extraordinary that they had never even heard of it.

Looking at my face in the mirror when I've just woken up on the morning. Did it just now. I don't moan about getting older but flipping heck my face is melting like a candle and it's a shock to see it sometimes.

The worst is when you catch sight of your reflection in a shop window, wonder who the old bat staring at you is and then realise it’s you.
