I feel like I'm on top of the world right now, the "perfect age" you might call it.
I don't feel old until I think about how long ago it was that I was in high school and how I'm not living in my parents' basement with no job eating all their food.
I think age is the most irrelevant thing in most situations and only rely on gauging other people's maturity as a means of judging them! I know when I was younger, I was loathe to be called a kid and enjoyed it a great deal when people reacted surprised when they found out my age! Nothing is more condescending than up and out deciding that your juniors must be inferior because of their birthdates; that is what join dates are for!
If you can roll with the society you choose, what makes your age matter? Just do not hit on people under the legal age where they dwell, okay?
Heh, 17 yet when I look at my sister and other kids heading to school I feel old and think back to when that was me.
I'll always feel like a blink-182 kid at heart. :love:
Yesterday, I got mistaken for a teacher. It feels so weird. Everyone thinks I'm in my early 20s!Quote:

A lot of that is mostly because I'm so much happier now. I don't remember ever feeling so truly happy in my life, even when I was a kid. Keeping busy constantly with work or college is the only way that I keep sad feelings and depression far away. Give me more than two weeks of stagnation, and I feel so terrible. Productivity is the best thing.
I definitely did stop growing up in my mid teens. I don't quite know what I want to do "when I grow up" I can't consider children (thanks to my sister I've been scared off kids for years to come) I'm just too immature and young for them. One of these days soon I'm going to be sitting there chatting with mates and like in that episode of Scrubs where JD gets told he needs to grow up a lot I'm gonna get hit hard but until then I'd rather laugh at life and keep on running
I'm really caught between a rock and a hard place. My childhood was pretty much one vast ocean of :bou::bou::bou::bou: in which I found the occasional driftwood in the form of escapism, so I have no wish to return to it.
On the other hand I have absolutely no desire to enter the world of unwarranted self-importance which adulthood seems to largely consist of. Thus prolonging university for as long as possible (Except not really because I could have spread that out to five years if I had been willing to fail. Twice.)
I'm 23 but I definintely don't feel, dress, or act like it.
When I was a human nobody got my age right. Some people figured I was a kid because I looked so young while others figured me for much older because of the way I carried myself and dressed, and the fact that I pretty much hated everyone in my age group and only associated with people 10-20 years older than me.
But, at the ripe old age of 97 and now that I am the pretty pink princess unicorn that I want to be, dem bitches know what time it is now. I gave out alot of Casio watches last Christmas.
I feel like I should be one or two years older than I actually am. Because I'm bored with being a kid, but not ready to thrust myself head first into being an adult. I just want to get to the point where I'm doing new and hard and exciting things.
I'm waiting for reality to hit me. It almost did. I act as grownup as I have to in any situation which sometimes means my age but normally means I'll think I'm a teenager forever.
I'm 16, and GOD it feels like I've been alive for an eternity, but then I remember that I felt that same way when I was around 5 years old. So, I remind myself that I'm just a moron, but at least not as big of a moron as that Freshman who thought I was a substitute teacher. Oh, how I laughed. I relate with you there, Rye.
^_^
Age and time and crap like that is relative anyway. Life changes for me every single daaaaaay, and, as it changes, I never really feel much older, just different. I think I'll keep learning for the rest of my life.
im 19 be twenty in jan and its cool in a way but then it sucks to. Cause IMO 17 18 19 20 are the best years of your life but now they're almost over I'm getting bills now, i actually have stuff to worry about that matters, me and most of my friends from HS are spreading apart. But theres a lot of good stuff in your 20's, and im sure theres lots more great times to be had
@medi
it seems like an eternity ago when i was 16 even though its only ben like 3.5 years
Looking back most of highschool seems like a great blur and it went by to fast. at least my last 2 years. the first ones were not all that super
Live your whole life like that. your only as old as you feel and i plan on feeling 19 or 20 for at least another 25 years or soQuote:

I remember making a thread here covering my ageing worries... when I was about to hit 20. Now I'm 27, and I'm probably a bit more comfortable with it.
Age is just a number, really. It's how old you feel and act that really defines you. I can be serious and mature, but most of the time I act the same way I have done for most of my life. I guess it's just a case of getting more balanced. The only thing I'm worried about is getting married/ having kids - luckily there's not really any chance of that at the moment!
Oh, and it's definitely good to keep reasonably fit as you get older. If you feel fitter than you have done previously, you feel younger. Kind of.
