With every passing decade, there is a significant change in the trends and norms of the society. Each generation of youngsters brings in new lifestyle fads that might perplex the older generations. So, people's priorities change and their interpretation of life keeps changing too. In fact, this constantly evolving society becomes the ultimate reality check for many to realize how old they've grown. One may be in their late 40s and still considering themselves in the brim of their youth. The idea that we are not that young anymore may not even strike our minds until our surroundings remind us. All it takes is a little trip down memory lane, contemplating how much one's life has changed to cause the light bulb moment - "I'm old!"
