Age puzzles me. I thought it was a quiet time. My seventies were interesting and fairly serene, but my eighties are passionate. I grow more intense as I age.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was 7 years old when the '80s began and 17 years old when they ended, so it was an incredibly formative decade for me.
I always felt older than my years, maybe because I was married to someone older.
Once I turned 40, my whole life changed in the most mature - not boring way but much cooler way. I feel much more like an adult.
Now that I near 80, I realize with wistful pleasure that on many occasions I was 10, 20, 40, even 50 years ahead of my time.
I always had an easier time with adults. Somehow, I was always old! I still feel old.
I was a late child from my parents, so I grew up surrounded by people a lot older than me. I think even when I was 21, I felt like I was a 70-year-old man.
To be seventy years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old.
There's no such thing as old age. I'm no different now than I was 50 years ago. I'm just having more fun.
When I'm 80 and sitting in a rocking chair listening to the Rolling Stones, there is absolutely no way I'm going to feel old or forget my younger days.
I don't feel any older now than when I was 70.
