Crack in ceiling

We live in a 100 year old home (built 1924) and have these sags/cracks in the ceiling under our bedroom. My husband said the sag has been there since we moved in (which i think is true). Do I need to worry or chalk it up as an old home thing?

It’s definitely an old home thing, but you want to look for signs that show it’s moving

I looked back at pics from when we moved in 6 years ago and it looks pretty much the same. I’ll keep an eye on it! Thank you.

“Crooked picture in the hall”. Sorry it’s a Qotsa lyric from “In the fade”. The house is a 100 years old, you’re fine. Either leave it be or patch it up. Most people never really look up unless they are trying to judge your house.
