    Same here, I miss being full of energy and the spontaneity of life. I often wonder what I did with my free time before kids and wish I had used it better. As beautiful and a blessing motherhood can be, we also lose ourselves and who we are, I have only just recently started feeling myself in 3 years after all the crazy baby hormones have gone and my babies are growing up. I still do feel young though but more mature and confident. Wish I had been like this in my early 20s, I was a hot mess lol.

    Im think you are getting old when you can't pull allnighters that easily anymore. I used to party all night then have a soccer game at 2pm, and it was fine. If i do this now, i would probably sleep half of the day or die on the field. 8h of sleep, im good, 7h i start to get grumpy, less i become an animal..
    Besides that i don't feel much difference from my 20's, in many ways im better at more or less physical things i still do now than when i was younger, having a better understanding of limits and when to put the effort.

    I am guilty as charged doing that a couple of times and played semi professionally

    Wear glasses - tick
    Grey hairs - tick
    Energy not what it used to be - tick

    I still feel very strong though - probably more than before. Just no where near as energetic.

    Maybe you just need to visit a decent chiropractor / masseur / whatever they call themselves. I had "bad knees" when I was like 20 years old, I couldn't do any sport for 1 or maybe 2 years. I went to a orthopedic doctor and he said the "cartilage in my knees is damaged / worn away" he prescriped some medicine that was supposed to heal my joints and my cartilage, but it didn't work at all. Then I went to a chiropractor and he said the doc was stupid and that there wasn't any problem with my knee cartilage. I visited him a couple of times and my knees never hurt after that. (He gave me massages but he was offended when I said he was a masseur, he said he was better than a masseur or someting like that.) This masseur guy also told me I need to stretch my legs regularly to preserve joint and cartilage health. So I think there's hope for you.

    So true! I felt the same. It took me about 3 years.

    Speaking about my own experience that could not be same for all the people, there is a long stage of farewell to youth in which we can suffer a lot , but once we assume that we are no longer young and that we will never be young again, you start a new stage of adulthood, which at least for me, I am enjoying more and more.

    I feel much more centered (within my usual inner chaos) and much more productive, creative, and much more sure of what I want and do not want (within my traditional indecision and my tendency to doubt).

    But of course, the physical appearance is evidently no better than the one I had when I was young.
