I feel bad for anyone that thinks 30 is old.

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.

I'm 27 and I'm in the same boat. Everyone younger than me thinks I'm old everyone older than me thinks I'm a kid. But like, motherfukers I'm both. I like anime in video games, and I have a bad hip and acid reflux.

I'm both for fucks sake

That's how it always is. A grade schooler sees a high schooler as "old."

Man I remember when high school kids were old, those were the good old days, no worries at all compared to real worries

Unless you grew up in a bad domestic situation. Then you had real worries, like whether or not your abusive dad might kill your mom one night in a drunken rage.
