I feel like something you can always bond with someone over is how you’re “getting old”. Even if you’re really not getting old. Or something just related to that. Like reminiscing on things from your childhood. Once you’re old enough to want to bond with people, you can always revert back to that if you get awkward.

I feel like everywhere I go, someone’s talking about how they’re getting old, or how they can’t do the things they used to, or how time’s going so fast, or how their kid or grandchild is getting so old and it seems like only yesterday that they were born.

You’d think it might exhaust itself after a while. But people keep talking about even though it’s commonly discussed. And depressing.
