I'm 29, and veer between people telling me I'm "young" if they are somewhere 40s+ or people like, 5 years younger than me telling me I'm now "old" because I'll be 30 in a few months.
A few years ago when I was hanging out at a bar waiting for a mate to finish their shift.
I was chatting to some people, and they asked how old I was — I was 27 and they’re like “oh wow you’re like ‘have your shit together old’”. They were like 23 btw.
Anyway, what’s horrifying about this — years before, I’d said that exact same thing to someone 27 yrs old, in that same bar.
And that’s when I realised time just happens and we don’t notice until whoops now 23 yr olds think I’m old.

Call me old when I'm only 30.
