2) You notice in photographs the lines on your forehead or at the corner of your eyes when you smile.

3) Your can’t bend or twist one way without you realising your body has turned stiff and brittle.

4) Girls in their early twenties stop checking you out.

5) You start taking yourself and everything that you do seriously and with purpose.

6) Everyone else starts taking you seriously.
