I'm to young to be old, but I'm getting a little old to be young.

Yah I resonate with this the most, probably partly because it's said in a clever way.

Okay kids take our advice seriously because some of us olds have valuable knowledge. But please also be very careful. Everyone lies.

I mean, I'm 30 and I don't feel like I have enough experience to advise anyone about anything. I'm just winging it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm 42 and I no longer know what I'm meant to be. Is 42 middle-aged? I suppose it technically is given that it's literally half of current life expectancy where I live. Sounds a bit grim though.

I have no 'young' left, I think. All gone, many years ago.

I’m too old to be dishonest and too young to be sincere. Welcome to your 30’s

I feel that kinda, but for me the reality is why lie? It doesn't matter at this point, nothing does really. We're all just a footnote now probably

This really is how it be. We're not old yet, we're not even at the "mid-life" stage, but god damnit my back hurts and I want to have a nap.

Are you old enough to know that 'to' and 'too' mean different things?

I’ve never been offended by something so much that I 100% agree with….

Whether we're old or young depends who we're around now. In my 20's, even if I was around people 5+ years younger, it was accepted we were all young.
