Suddenly Old

[Clodfobble]

I can tell you that officially, from some psych/sociology textbook I had to read, "middle age" is defined as 45-65, and 65+ is "elderly". I remembered it because I thought that range seemed much higher than what I'd always thought middle age was, which was more like 30-50. They claimed 25-45 was "young adult" and 16ish-25 was "emerging adult" or some bullshit.

The whole thing was based on what people that age are supposedly focused on, like "in the elderly stage of life, individuals become concerned with their legacy, and resting to admire the fruits of their accomplishments."
