Getting older comes up in conversations all the time (at least for me!) with friends, with family, with colleagues. So let's talk about the real English expressions for conversations about aging — what you're noticing, what you're not sure about, and how to be there for a friend going through the same thing. Not just "I feel old." Expressions covered include: the march of time, take a toll, keep your wits about you, gain some distance, come into your own, and more.
