    At some point you’ll be talking to someone a lot younger than you and realize that somehow they’re still an adult and then immediately after they’ll do something incredibly immature. Will make that top line will drop so fast.

        The state of being old is a whole bunch of things that correlate with chronological age, but unless you know someone moving at relativistic speeds, chronological age is the only one we all move through at the same rate.

        If you can hold on to the good bits of youth, like open-mindedness, and grow along dimensions like maturity, maybe youth doesn’t need to be wasted on the young.

    I don’t think this graph is accurate - the lines shouldn’t be so perfectly parallel.

    The older I get, the greater the distance between my age and “old” age. When I was 12, 15 seemed old. At 42, 75 seems old.

    My wife is a few months older than me. She doesn’t seem to appreciate that I call her old as hell on her birthdays.

    As a teen came to conclusion age is just a number and this still holds. Met smarter, more conscious teens than most of the adults I know and met more childish and dumb adults than most of the teens. The only thing word “adult” connects with for me is conforming with what others expect of you at the cost of your own happiness

    Screw that. Gonna frolick in grass, learn new shit, do sports or jump into puddless and see how far I can make them splash ;p

    I’m the complete opposite, I’m an old man. I’ve been an old man for about 8 years now I’m almost 40. My friends either disagree with me or piss them off (if they’re older than me) when I say, “I’m old”.

      could you bother to share some tips, like the perfect brand to get the anti aging vaccines from, or that super duper bone density improvement kit. The brands i have been looking at at really expensive, the last one i tried was asking 127 quintillion, plus taxes. PLUS TAXES! those cheapskates
