Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.

Cast as a wry, Schulz-like aphorism, the line plays on the cliché of being “over the hill” (past one’s prime) by flipping it into a joke about physics: once you crest a hill, gravity makes you accelerate. The humor softens anxiety about aging by reframing it as momentum rather than decline—suggesting that later life can feel faster, busier, and more consequential, even if society labels it as “downhill.” It also hints at perspective: what looks like a peak from one side becomes a descent from the other, and the shift in viewpoint can change whether aging is read as loss or as a new, brisk phase of motion.
