When reality catches up to you and you realize you aint exactly young anymore. I've mixed feelings about this, I feel guilty about those who're older than me D:
If only you could stand on top of the sand that's already fallen and rearh up to plug the hole (biological immortality or at least stopped aging).... Or even figure out a way to break the hourglass and escape without getting crushed or cut as it falls apart (metaphysical immortality?).
I think my hourglass has a steeper slope (so, e.g., the difference between 30 and 31 is closer to the difference between 20 and 21 than this picture shows), but I'm definitely feeling the gradual loss of vitality over the years/decades.

Yep, you're never to old to express yourself in your medium of choice (even skydiving) or to connect with people (even strangers). I have the feeling that most older people would think back and remember when they started to realize they had stopped growing up (frontal cortex finished developing, etc) and started growing old (but still full of plasticity). If anything, they'd be glad that you're finally valuing time and youth as the finite resources they're dealing with. On the other paw, there are assholes in every generation.
