I was 20 or 21 in college and I remember watching the freshmen scramble to make friends or do simple assignments and stress and obsess over things that meant nothing to me. I found myself reading outside when people were desperately grasping at each other for some sort of connection they couldn't find within. I wasn't antisocial or anything, I was just finally comfortable with myself.
The fact that I no longer like to go places on weekends doesn't make me feel old, but it makes me feel like I'm no longer a kid. On a Friday or Saturday night I would much rather sit at home with my wife than go to a bar, friend's house, or anywhere else. Tonight we have to go to a bar for a friend's birthday and I am dreading it.
All the teenagers at the mall annoy me now. Seems like not too long ago, I was that kid.
I was seven years old and I found myself reading the ny times and checking for stock exchanges.
27. Just by how I felt, and knowing that 28 was coming up. My wrist was really starting to hurt, my back was always sore, blah blah blah. Now I'm 32 and I've been telling myself everyday that I'm not old, I'm not old, I'm not old!!!!! I'm still radical, no matter my age :)
when my 4 years younger brother told me his favvourite pokemon and i haven't ever heard of it.
21....I can finally drink at the bars and that's exciting nothing else to look forward to though. I too sit home with my husband almost all the time and only go out occasionally but rather stay home. My back hurts, I have carpal tunnel (I got it when I was about 15) and have been wearing a wrist brace almost every day to bed to keep from falling asleep in the mornings and during the day.
The mirror didn't make me feel older, the random health problems did. Around 28 or 29 I started to notice.
Every time my hair gets longer and I cut it off.
*and I currently need a haircut.
16/17. Mainly because I felt like I hadn't done what I was supposed to of done by that age. I spent a lot of time comparing my life to others, and thinking about my failures. It's a stupid thing to do, and I realise now that if I had the opportunity to switch lives with anyone, I wouldn't to it. I'm happy the way I am, kinda.
