28 and fear wasted my youth
I am 28 and fear wasted my youth
Whenever I was 22 24 and 25/26- I felt old and now realize those ages are young af and felt silly for feeling old and fear I wasted my youth feeling old
I also hate that 28 is lumped in/seen as the same as late 30s/middle aged people
and I read this too:
I'll be 40 in a 5 months. I'm pushing 40. I look back at 25, 26, 27... man I was just so young. But I felt old at times. I felt old because I started to feel out of place in the young bars and clubs I might have gone to in my early 20s. I'd still routinely interact with people in my early 20s, so I felt old because relative to them I was older. Your life changes more dramatically from 22 to 28 than it does from 29 to 35 or 35 to 41 (for most people). So if you're a 27 year old going back to College home coming, you're interacting with 21 year olds who are just waaaay relatively younger than you, you feel like you're older. Now a days and for the last ~10 years, my hang out spots have been old shitty bars filled with old fogies usually older than me, I'm way more likely to be invited to a retirement party than a college graduation party, so I'm "the young one" among my old crusty ass bar hops (except for one guy who is like 26 who asks like hes' 45, probably because he's hanging out with people who are all 40-45)
and I fear this makes me old compared to early 20s and I don't wanna hang out with old fogies
