        Second this. Older guy once told me and it always stuck since.

        “I’ve always mentally felt 18, but my body tells me otherwise.”

        I still get excited over childish things, and sometimes try to participate and wonder how I used to do some of these said things back then. Paintball is still fun and I can keep up, but I definitely feel it the next day.

        It doesn’t wear off. I fell off a skateboard when I was 59, only the torn rotator cuff (and 1 year of painful rehab) let me know I shouldn’t have tried going down that hill…
