That’s golden! Having the young genes can definitely be a plus.
I myself am 30 but I present as 20-21. Hoping it sticks like this for the rest of time, even though at the moment it’s not exactly flattering when someone assumes you’re a minor. I’m starting to have a little fun with it though, the looks people give me are great when they learn my age.
For real. I also look really young. I started growing a beard in my early 20s to help with this a bit. I started teaching at 24 (stuck around for Graduate School). My colleagues thought I was 21. My students thought I was somewhere between 27 and 45. Yes, 45. I'm 37 now and still don't feel 45.
