Welp. College is…fun.
What is the point in growing old if you cannot feel childish sometimes?
I never really had an issue like this if I am honest, I was always “old beyond my years” as everyone would tell me. Was treated like an adult since I was 13. This was only re-enforced by most places ignoring the LEGAL requirement to ID anyone who looks under 25 by never IDing me. To this day I have been ID’d twice which is strange.
I would say the weirder thing now as I fast approach my 30s I find myself looking back and asking myself what have I actually done with my first decade of “adulthood” and at the beginning of this year I stressed about it massively. Until I realised I hadn’t done that badly. I mean not what I had dreamed I would be up to back in my teens or as a child. But I am probably the happiest I have ever been despite bills, stressful jobs and a relationship that is more one sided that originally intended.
I find that the older I get the more age appears to be nothing more than a number. Going from 16 - 18 - 20 didn’t really change anything in my life. The big milestones passed me by and nothing changed over night. It all just felt the same, I was still me.
