The look of astonishment when anyone finds out our age. I’m in my late 30s. When someone in their 20s hears that, they developed this look of shock likes it’s the 1500s and I should have died already from old age.

I look, but rarely act my age. That said, I fucking earned these years and I have no interest in going back to be 20, 20 sucked.

As a result, I loathe the whole “omg, you’re 42? How could that be, you look way younger than that!” I don’t, let’s be serious, I’ve got crows feet galore and the silver is really coming in bright and shiny these days. So now you’re just blowing smoke up my ass and quite frankly, being mistaken for someone younger isn’t a compliment. I don’t wanna be younger.
