Twenty-year-olds have a kind of emotional idealism about relationships and about the world that enables them to say, 'No, you lied to me. Goodbye.' When they see wickedness, they walk away.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People idealize or reminisce about their 20s, but nobody tells you beforehand that it's hard and unglamorous and often very unpleasant.
Kids have a weird honesty, especially in their reaction to things where a lot of older people who have matured have lost that.
Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.
People equate success with youth. And if you haven't had a certain amount of success by a certain time in your life, it's never going to happen. There's a fear about that. So people start lying about their age really young. I've never done that because I think it's so insignificant.
As you get older, there's a loosening of the ties to the ego and the posturing of who you are and how you behave.
At the end of your twenties, you realize you are inherently flawed, and that's great, and that's what makes you dynamic.
I dated a guy for over a year who lied about his age the entire time. I found out after the fact and couldn't believe it! I even threw him a birthday party for the wrong age... I couldn't get over how hard he had tried to keep it a secret!
Yes and our obsession with youth in our culture and how we, women lie about their age after 35 obsessively and no one wants to let anyone know they're getting older, et cetera.
The Twenties have this sort of attitude where you never know what's around the corner.
The heart never grows better by age; I fear rather worse, always harder. A young liar will be an old one, and a young knave will only be a greater knave as he grows older.
