People Are Sharing The Clear Signs That Made Them Realize They Were Getting Old

As you get older, you start having more and more moments where you start to feel, well, OLD. Sometimes, it's things like suddenly needing glasses to drive at night; other times, it's things like learning that the young, up-and-coming actor in the movie you just saw was born the same year you graduated high school.
