It just creeps up on you
Suddenly, you realize you are doing, or enjoying, all the things that are typically old-folks pursuits. Mine are:
Gardening
Walking the dog
Comfy shoes
Hating the cold
Gin
Sherry
Sherry Trifle
Shepherds Pie
Carrying a pair of reading glasses with me at all times

I'm 48. So, no, you won't crumble into dust. You'll just find more things to go "oooohhh" at.

and i've recently discovered a liking for gin.

Nothing wrong with knitting!
As a 32 year old spinster living with two cats, I assure you knitting is very cool.

Pfffft - "spinster"
You mean "old Maid".

Yep.
Nothing to look forward to but extensive moustache growth and dying alone.

I think you'll find...
That one cat is excessive.
