When your mind and body doesn't correlate eachother anymore as they used to. Your body wants to say "hey! lets go out and do things!" but your mind tends to go "Nah, I just want to sit here and think about stuff" and sometimes it is the opposite.

I was told once many years ago by a retired (kinda) member of a major biker gang the following:

"Getting old ain't for pussies."

I was around twelve, he wasn't lying, I'm forty-six now. All the stupid crap you have done early on in your life will come back around and cause aches and pains. You have to force yourself to keep moving through the pain or you will end up doing next to nothing every chance you get.

My mind has always kept me at home so I can't say much there, I've never been to a club and rarely go to bars. I'm just not a social person.

That quote is actually from a former German TV celebrity, Joachim Fuchsberger. It’s the title of his 2011 autobiography.
