I'm physically older than you, and feel mentally older than I am (29). It's quite nice - I got my mid-life crisis over when I was young, and don't feel so much pressure as I used to. Maybe you've got the right idea - feeling older than your years, whilst still being young - you can mature gracefully rather than have age take you by surprise.

C'est pas forcément mal de vieillir. Perso je me sens bien mieux dans ma peau maintenant et beaucoup plus en adéquation avec moi-même qu'à 20 ans par exemple.

srsly

being old isn't exactly all that bad. there comes a certain age where you no longer worry about money, you no longer worry about what you are going to do with your life, and you are still halfway attractive enough that you can have sex with your partners eyes open.


after that time ends, of course, you're screwed.....

Old soul old soul.
J'imagine que y'a pas que des mauvais côtés...

vain and silly is all based on money and attractiveness... once you don't care about those things......

and tired and bitter has nothing to do with being old. it is just part of being human. its perfectly ok to be sick of petty bullshit no matter how old you are.......

Ya still got a ways to go for old.
The body ages, stay young at heart.
And as I told a friend, when they turned 50
several years back:
You can still do everything you did when younger,
it just takes twice the caffine, asperin, and recovery.
Stay excellent.

Tu es peut-être un chat à neuf vies qui se souvient intimement des dernières ;-) ?
Je ne sais pas trop quoi te dire, je trouve ça difficile de rester naïf et émerveillé devant...la vie.Mais quand ça arrive, c'est d'autant plus appréciable.

Etre une vieille peau de vache, je trouve que c'est cool

Being physically, really old I can say that the thing I feel is not being dead, which feels pretty good.

Being confronted by stupidity - living in this western world (all I really know) - that you are feeling old - is a good sign !
But then again - Dwam finding her own path - was never in question !
You don't require this beacon; I always advise my dear dynamo, to rest - work to spend more time in dreaming and forgetful sleep ?

Like swimming in the Great Salt Lake
skimming over the surface
is easier to produce results
easier than exploring - immersed in it !
which is the most telling vantage point , this time ?

Are you still excited to see the next day ?
or do you feel it is determined ?
a good test for *oldness*

stick around old one
be old with me too !

be well
sleep some too ?

Feeling the years aren't so bad if accompanied with sage wisdom and good experience. Feeling it out of sense of being tired and spent isn't so awesome. I'll cross my fingers that you start feeling as young as you look, but not too young

I'm turning 30 in a few months and already feel physically old but I think it may just be that my cynical view of the world is starting to sap the energy out of me.
