Time humbles us all. Wrinkles become clearer. Aches and pains flare up. Dreams fade away. But with every line time etches into your skin comes a hard lesson learned.
People are tweeting those nuggets of wisdom only aging can teach us. From the boomer-sounding complaints we made fun of our parents for having, to startling realizations about love, these things people realized as they got older connect every one of us.
