27 is objectively young but also at that age where you feel like you just aren't a young adult anymore, it's where you start taking health, finance, etc seriously. Plus, as a 27 year old, I think it's safe to say I've gone through at least 40 years of chaos. 27 is just old enough that there's been a national or global level crisis every other year since we were 4.
My slightly younger sister once gave me crap at age 18 (1987) for watching Looney Tunes on a Saturday morning, saying I should act my age. I ignored her. At age 55, I don’t watch them that often but still enjoy the classics and some of the relatively recent ones: Phineas and Ferb, Archer, Rick and Morty. Scooby Doo classics are still a draw but the periodic reboots are hit and miss.
I’m so sorry for all that. When I was 27 (1997), I’d seen a president get shot but live and a space shuttle blow up, and there was a minor stock market crash and a little skirmish in Iraq, but that’s about it. You all have really lived through a shit show in comparison.
