Today I bought my first Dockers. Two pair.  
I feel old.  
I’m 57.  
😕  
Peace,

I’m 25 and I have Dockers… they fit me wonderfully! Our society is warped for not revering our elder population. We should be grateful for the many years we get, not made to feel shamed by it. But then, what would the wrinkle cream industry, hair dye industry, plastic surgeons, etc do if we felt proud of aging? Embrace 57!🙂
