When I was a kid, all I knew was that I felt more comfortable sitting in one chair than in another. And now I realize it was because one chair was older. I still respond directly to the age of things.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
During my childhood, I felt older than my years because I felt responsible for my brothers and sisters.
And I know when I was younger, and still, I always marvel at what I feel is different from what I'm told that I'm supposed to feel.
I always had an easier time with adults. Somehow, I was always old! I still feel old.
Since I was 13 or 14 I've always felt older than I actually am.
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.
Age is not different from earlier life as long as you're sitting down.
I'm realizing that for so much of my life I had an older viewpoint; I saw things as an older person. That's common among change-of-life babies. So I have this dichotomy where I'm either, like, super young or feel like I'm coming to the end of my years.
I don't feel any older now than when I was 70.
I remember the moment I first became aware of aging. I was 30. I looked down at my knees, and the skin above them had become a little loose. And I thought, 'And so it begins!'
I've gotten to the age where I'm comfortable with just about everything - except getting old!
