When exactly you start to feel “old”?

By Massimo Usai

.

Is there a specific point, a moment, an episode, in our lives where we start to feel “old”?


I never thought about ageing until I turned few years ago, on my birthday, into a total lockdown.


But it wasn’t for lockdown itself, wasn’t that the issue.


It was for the forcing that led me to celebrate a significant birthday of my life without having the party and the people I had planned to do for all my previous years.


When I was younger, growing up, what were my feelings about the ageing process?

Actually, I haven’t thought about ageing, and I think most people don’t. When he arrived, I accepted it.


But I got scared, I have to be honest.

Because that feeling still on.

After more than 25 years spent between London, Warsaw, and Brussels—three cities that taught me everything except how to resist a good coffee—I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with international outlets such as The New York Times, Time Out London, and Vancouver News.
Today, I’m the Director of Urban Mood Magazine and the Editor behind Longevitimes.com, where I explore stories at the intersection of culture, photography, and longevity.
I love blending images and words to turn every piece into a small journey—authentic, original, and occasionally a little mischievous.
In recent years, I’ve been diving deep into the world of Sardinia’s Blue Zone, developing expertise in longevity, traditions, and the science behind living better (and longer).
And yes—I’m also an Arsenal supporter. Nobody’s perfect. / To contact me massimousai@mac.com

I realised I was old when I supported my husband to bury his dad. I was actually a co-host. That was when I realised, “girl, you’re getting old.”
