Reaching 100 years old may sound like an impressive feat, but let’s be honest—by that point, life’s surprises have gone from thrilling to downright absurd.
At this point in life, you’ve seen trends come and go, watched technology evolve from rotary phones to smartphones, and yet, the only thing that seems to evolve with you is the increasing number of body aches. Each new gadget that promises to make life easier just becomes another thing you don’t have the patience to figure out. At this point, you’re not living for the joy of new experiences; you’re surviving out of sheer curiosity to see what ridiculous challenge life throws at you next.
And let’s talk about those challenges—because it’s not like you get to coast through your centennial years. No, life still has a few more tricks up its sleeve, like making sure you struggle to read small print or making your knees sound like a symphony of creaks and pops every time you stand up.
But hey, at least you’ve outlasted your tech-savvy grandkids’ attention spans and the relentless onslaught of trends. Living past 100 is less about thriving and more about waiting for life to admit you’ve won the game, while you try to remember why you ever agreed to play in the first place.
