At what age?

[esseJ]

Yo Blessedjourney, embrace each year! I think every year gets better than the last one. I really can't wait to see what I do this year...it might astound even me...8)

Seriously. I wouldn't want to go back to my 20s...

Honestly I am glad the years that are behind me-- are just there behind me..

I will try to embrace my new Year.. I could always be worst off.

This is the best year of my 20's

27 hit me pretty bad, sadly I don't remember much of 20-26 so i suddenly felt, "WHOA, I'm almost 30 in a few years..."

When I turned 25! It was the same year my mom turned 50.

Now whenever I think about having a niece who's been married, has 2 kids and is divorced I feel old!

When I think about having a niece who graduates from college this year I feel old.

When I think about my two nieces who just graduated from HS, who were toddlers when they visited me at college I feel O-L-D.

When I think about having graduated HS 15 1/2 years ago, I feel old.

When I think about having graduated college 11 1/2 years ago, I feel old!

When I think about going back to college for my master's I REALLY feel old, and keep putting it off!

In other words, I feel O-L-D pretty much of the time!

I'm 22 and I feel old! Something's wrong here!

I started feeling old at the ripe age of 21.

At what age did you feel the "OLD" setting in.

I have never really dreaded a Birthday or another year passing. But knocking on the door of my 29th year I am feeling the "oldness" coming in.

A lot of my friends said either 29 or 30 were the years that bothered them.

I mean it is not like I have not experienced anything, I have experienced being Married, Children, College, a Career..so why does 29 feel so DOOMING!!


At what age do you think you will feel like something gotta give or the age where you are now OLD..

Here is to the last year of the 20's

I never gave it too much thought before....well, maybe a little in the latter 40 years. It really kicked in when some-one referred to me as "the elderly gentleman" at 50+.

I didn't feel old till I realized that I would be the oldest to post in this thread.

Okay, as the oldest one to post in this thread - - Seriously, I don't think of myself as old. Not too often anyway. One time I did was this last semester when one of my classmates wanted to celebrate her mother's birthday, and I asked how old her mother was (her mother wasn't there, so there wasn't a breach of etiquette). Her mother is 40. I am older, not just than my classmates, I've gotten used to that, but older than the mother of one of my classmates.

29 and 30 are great years. The day itself is just another day, no big deal. Take your folks out to dinner on your birthday and honor the day that way and you might feel better about it.

Hahaha! That's awesome!

Where do you go to school, if you don't mind my asking?

I am reminded of a few years ago when I took a college physical geography course. The instructor asked if anybody remembered when Mt. St. Helens erupted. I raised my hand. I remembered seeing it on the TV news. But then a classmate behind me said "I wasn't even born yet." Now that made me feel old.

I have been thinking about it a lot these days as I count down to 40. It doesn't help that my life seems like it's been in neutral for the past 5 years so I feel like the past 5 years have been a blur & I'm trying to make up for "lost time".

 

[~HopeFloats~]

I have to agree with that.. I too feel like life has been the "same" or in "park" for me for a few years and taht is the depressing park.

A lot of my friends have had soem major changes in their life and here I sit doing the same stuff/things for 4+ years.

Oh well like it or not here comes 29

 

[chanis]

i have yet to feel that way...I think it's just the way a person views life...
I don't think I'll ever feel "old"...as long as I'm taking advantages of the opportunities that come my way and life to the fullest it's all good...

I don't feel old either
In fact, I look at my thirties
As a new sense of the "new twenties" IMO.

Yeah. The 30's are just another 10 years of being 25, right?

 

[kooolfriend]

I thought I would feel older, but nop still the same!
I think I will never grew old in my mind!
