I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
'Seniors' are elderly persons, usually more than sixty or sixty-five years of age.
People in the United States and Canada who are more than sixty years of age are commonly referred to as senior citizens or seniors. These terms refer to people whose stage in life is generally called old age, though there is no precise way to identify the final stage of a normal life span. People are said to be senior citizens when they reach the age of sixty or sixty-five because those are the ages at which most people retire from the workforce.
It is a time when eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me. I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
Yeah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
