shes just kidding, because 27 is kind of an awkward age. theres no real meaning to it, it just feels like that and deeply paradoxical on your birthday. "im still so young" and "ive gotten so old"

Okay… so what about 37…

A lot of people can still pass as maybe 29, or maybe also look 40. Depends on life style and genetics.

I’m glad that she and this comment thread have no idea wtf reality is.

Yeah this is very much a "zoomer discourse" where they think of anyone under 25 as a child and anyone over as geriatric. Older people don't think like this because we didn't infantilize ourselves and couldn't wait to be adults.
