Melissa Combs on the age confusion of being in your 50s

Melissa Combs posts about the contradictions of being in your 50s

Combs posted a humor-focused reflection on Bluesky describing the dissonance of middle age: feeling 24 at concerts, 88 after 8/9 PM, 115 when getting up off the floor, and 17 when '80s music plays, while being 55 on paper.

“Being in your 50s is confusing. On paper, I'm 55. At a concert, I'm 24. After 8/9 PM, I'm 88. Getting up off the floor makes me 115. But when the'80s music starts playing, I'm 17 all over again.”
