I moved 300 miles from where I was living a week ago. I like it here better. I am having trouble identifying as 61 years old. I feel a lot younger and am not connecting with my age. I am not certain who we are when we are walking and talking to people. Part of me is glad we moved but it seems to have crystallized our confusion with how we engage with people. I don't know what it is to be 61. I can see the changes to my body but I still think I am in my thirties. It's causing a lot of doubt on how to be when meeting people. Talking to old friends helps me to be grounded but that only lasts a short time. I need to find a new therapist.
