Nobody is going to pretend that I am younger than I am. Apart from anything else, it is in the papers all the damn time - every time I have a birthday.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is always self-defeating to pretend to a generation younger than your own; it simply erases your own experience in history.
Nobody can hide their birthdays anymore, so there's no point in lying.
My first recognition of age setting in was exactly on my 36th birthday. I have no idea why, on this day of all days, I looked in the mirror and realized my face no longer looked young.
I've told so many lies about my age I don't know how old I am myself.
For me, your real age is not the age on your ID. That's just a date when you were born.
You feel you can pretend to be young until you're 50, but after that, what happens and how do you approach it?
When I'm 60, maybe, I'll look at my pile of papers and wonder, What really happened that year?
But I don't like to, tell people how old I am. I like that to be a mystery.
I'm tired of people questioning me because of my age. If you looked at my numbers and watched me throw and covered my birthdate, would age be an issue?
So people think I'm lying about my age all the time? It's the records that are wrong. I've never told anyone how old I am. The minute they ask me, I say 'That's none of your business.' So that means I've never once lied about my age. Now that's true!
