Does it ever feel like life is getting harder and our bodies are aching in places that never hurt before?
Let's face it. Getting old sucks.
<p>But when you realize that life is short, you start to focus on getting the most out of the time you have left.</p><p>Because you never know if tomorrow will come. </p><p>That's when we learn to accept things as they are instead of wasting time and energy trying to fight them.</p><p><strong>Curious about what people learned with age, Redditor _Odalie asked strangers on the internet: </strong><br></p><blockquote><em><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/iy1m4s/what_have_you_grown_to_accept_as_youve_gotten/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3" target="_blank">"What have you grown to accept as you've gotten older?"</a></em></blockquote> <div><img alt="" src="https://www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/img/renderTimingPixel.png">The responses included ignoring the people who are backstabbing you, and accepting the fact that it's okay if you don't reach unrealistic goals. </div><div>One response even discouraged people to avoid purchasing a lousy product. </div><p>Do any of the following resonate with your life experience?</p><p><br></p>

Growing into middle and old age is a gradual process that occurs over the course of many years. Youth burns bright and fades slowly. Those youngest years depart at a churning pace, relentless and constant.
<p>But our perspective of the transition is not aligned with that gradual piece. Us humans tend to understand things in a much more staccato way. We're prone to epiphanies and sudden realizations.</p><p>And few epiphanies feel more significant than the discovery that middle or old age has arrived. Though the evidence often comes along during a day's most mundane moments, the conclusion feels grand. After all, this is mortality we're talking about here.</p><p>A recent Reddit thread encouraged folks to recall a time that a minor occurrence tipped them off to the harsh truth: they were getting older. </p><p>LollipopDreamscape asked, <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/hy650i/what_was_the_moment_where_you_thought_im_getting/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank">"What was the moment where you thought, 'I'm getting old?'

Looking back at the past can be super cringeworthy. Some things just need to be left in the past. Other things, though, continue to stay strong, and are still relevant. Here are just a few things that have aged well, according to the people of Reddit.

Kristen Bell Just Asked Her Kids To Guess How Old She's Turning—And Their Answers Are Hilariously Brutal
July 19 | 2019
@kristenanniebell/Instagram
It is considered impolite to ask a woman's age.
But chivalry didn't apply when Kristen Bell was the one who did the asking.
The Good Place actress just turned 39 and indulged in a guessing game with her two young daughters, Lincoln, 6, and Delta, 4, whom she shares with her husband, actor Dax Shepard.
She asked for it.
<p>
<strong>Bell filmed herself asking her girls:</strong>
</p><blockquote>
<em>"How old do you think I'm turning?"</em>
</blockquote><p>
The girls, who are obviously too young to comprehend the concept of time, answered with as much accuracy as other kids their age<strong>.<br>
</strong>
</p><p>
<strong>Nevertheless, their <em>guess</em>-timations felt like tiny daggers in mommy's loving heart, as evidenced by her facial reactions.</strong><br>

</div></blockquote></div><p>
Delta, who is off-camera with her sister, thought long and hard.
</p><p>
<strong>"Six … fifty …," she said, verbalizing her thought process before arriving at her final answer:</strong>
</p><blockquote>
<em>"63."</em>
</blockquote><p>
<strong>Bell turned the question over to her eldest:</strong>
</p><blockquote>
<em>"How old do you think I'm turning, Link?"</em>
</blockquote><p>
<strong>After a prolonged pause, she declared:</strong>
</p><blockquote>
<em>"89."</em>
</blockquote><p>
<strong>How cute is that?</strong><br>

</p><p>
Making sure everyone had an equal guessing opportunity, Bell turned to Shepard, 44, and asked the same question.
</p><p>
<strong>The <em>Without a Paddle</em> actor diplomatically answered:</strong>
</p><blockquote>
<em>"I think a safe bet, somewhere in the middle of those two guesses, so … 71?"</em>
</blockquote><p>
<strong>Through giggles, Bell finally revealed to them she is 39.</strong>
</p><p>
She shared the video on Instagram where it got over 2,460,000 views.
</p><p>
<strong>She captioned her post:</strong><br>
</p><blockquote>
<em>"My kids are kind. I don't care if they cant do math."</em>
</blockquote><p>
<strong>Followers were charmed by the hilarious family interaction and also commented on her age-defying looks.</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

</p><p>
<strong>He captioned the post with:</strong><br>
</p><blockquote>
<em>"Happy Birthday Buddy!!! I've been with you on a third of your ride, and I hope I'm lucky enough to burp/throw-up/suffer/thrive with you for all the rest."</em>

After dating for six years the couple delayed tying the knot until the state of California legalized same-sex marriage.
</p><p>
The Supreme Court ruled section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional on June 26, 2013, prompting Bell to propose to Shepard on Twitter, to which he said, "yes." The pair married on October 16, 2013.<br>
</p><p>
They welcomed Lincoln into the world in March 2013, followed by Delta in December 2014.<br>

Happy birthday Kristen! </p><p>You don't look a day over 12.<br>

You have to get a license to just about anything, to fish even... why not be tested for approval for child rearing?! I want to that initiative on the ballot box.
Redditor u/EvisGamer posed an important question to us all... How would you feel about a law that requires anyone under the age of 25 to pass a specialized test in order to have children?
