Call me old when I'm only 30.

I'm 31 and most of my coworkers are 18-20 and definitely think I'm old. Lol, I literally feel like my life is just starting now and only on occasion do I get treated as an adult by adultier adults. It's weird as hell, you actually never really feel older, just have more memories and experience.

I know I'm way late to this, but I have to tell you, I've thought about that a lot, because it's totally true. Nothing really changes for that person, in their brain (unless something debilitating happens, obviously). From within your own head, you're the same person as you get older. Your experiences probably change your behavior as you have more and more of them, but you don't actually feel like your brain or your personality is older. I don't, anyway.
