    It’s the phenomenon of feeling significantly older in your 40s than you did in your thirties. There is no definite age for it, just a vague miasma of age where you feel different. Nevermind the fact that in your 40s you are likely leaning into your long term career path and getting into a more managerial role with less physical and mental strain, and even more so in your 60s where you are entering or preparing for retirement. Surely those massive life changes won’t make you feel different in any way. It must be some bullshit we made up to sell people pills.
