There are definitely elements of experience and stuff that someone who's my age wouldn't have. But there are also things that I can do that other people wouldn't necessarily be able to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been accused of being old before my time more than once. It's true that I've always felt an affinity for, and been comfortable around, older people. I attribute this to a childhood spent around my grandparents - and even a great-grandparent or two. I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything.
I never thought I'd reach 21. I used to feel that was old, but growing old doesn't scare me anymore. I just want to have done something super special and have had someone to do it with.
There's a confidence and sense of self that comes with age that I didn't anticipate.
Age is no barrier. It's a limitation you put on your mind.
Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.
Age is a convenient barometer of what a person is capable of, but it is only one.
Its not age as much as the experiences I have had.
Everyone is the sum total of past experiences. A character doesn't just spring to life at age thirty.
I've never had a particular skill. I can't cook, dance, play an instrument, speak a foreign language. This used to worry me. I'd think, when I'm grown up, at 18, then I made it 21, it will be clear what role I should have in life. It never happened. I never signed on the dotted line as the sort of adult my father wanted.
Age doesn't mean anything. Age doesn't mean I can't work as hard. Age doesn't mean I can't do as well as everyone else. It's just a factor. It's just there.
