What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today?

I am wearing this aging body today. It would be anazing to see how many steps one has had in their life, heart-beats, injuries recovered from, adversities conquered, and cheeseburgers eaten.

My age is 46 years old, but I don’t think that accurately reflects the miraculous nature of human existence.

I have been alive for 16,790 rotations of the Earth, 402,960 hours, 24,177,600 minutes. 1.45 x 10 to the ninth power seconds. It is even more insane to think that, I may not even be halfway through my life.

So in short, my skin and bones are definitely the oldest thing I am carrying around these days. Thinking about this topic makes reminds me of this song by Foo Fighters. Give it a listen if you have a moment!

    I don’t tour or live life in the spotlight but I can relate to the feeling of being skin and bones. As I get older and my body falls apart like an old jalopy there is less and less holding the skin and bones together

      It is so strange to see your body changing, knowing what will inevitably happen. I have vivid memories of my hands at different ages of my life on my mind as the image for aging.

        Why do you think it’s the images of your hands that your mind uses for measures of aging

        I don’t know, I guess hands have always fascinated me. It might have come from a kindergarten vlay hand project.

        Thank you. I like to keep things light. There’s enough heavy 🪨 out there already.
