Same.
Most recent part of aging I've noticed is the constant reminder from my hands. Avoiding mirrors doesn't solve this.
Lol 24? That was 15 years ago for me, i feel great. You could die tomorrow, people die much younger everyday, age is meaningless. Stay healthy and live a happy life
On March 12th I turn 32. And honestly I feel just as good as when I was 20. Even better, I'm about 10,000% less stupid. So, I wouldn't worry about it. Just remember the point of life is to live, so make every day an opportunity to have as much fun as you reasonably can, because there's no reason you shouldn't.

I'm just being overly dramatic in response to old 24 year OP.
But seriously hands are getting puffy and droopy. It's one of the areas that ages the fastest, just look at any elderly persons hands.
31 soon. I feel like I still got the world by the balls. Put me behind the wheel of my Mustang and give me a few Van Halen records(David Lee Roth, no Hagar junk) and I can take on whatever comes my way.
Reminds me when I was 25, I'd joke to myself "halfway to 30" - since I considered a person's 20's to be the last decade to be considered "young".
Years later, the day after I turned 30, I spent all day playing video games in my pajamas like a kid.

OP
OP
I'm 34 and I really love being an adult and growing older. So far my 30s are far far better than my 20s, I'm just a smarter and more emotionally mature version of my younger self. I really love who I am and life still feels full of possibility and wonder. I'm definitely feeling the physical effects of aging though, and I can't say that's not scary. But that's just the human condition. And in a way, I think it's beautiful that our lives are temporary. It speaks to the poet in me lol
For fucks sake I knew this was going to be someone who's only been on this planet for a couple of decades.
Aw, you're 24 and you dont know what you're doing with your life?
I know you dont believe anyone who says this to you, but only freaks know what they're doing with their lives at age 24. Also you are beautiful.

When I was 24 I don't remember ever being like "I'm old." Not even close. Not even in a joking way. I don't know how some of you guys are going to react when you hit your 30's, lmao.
Thread banner is great btw.

I feel you OP. As has already been pointed out, I know it's irrational, but man. All I've got is student debt and a part time retail job where all my coworkers are 17 year olds.
wish I could actually remember 24, all I have is vague memories of being deployed and drunkenly wandering around places like Rhodes Greece and Istanbul with buddies in search of another drink. Had a blast for sure, not a lot of solid memories left from it though.
Happy Birthday.
I kind of remember being 24. I was stationed in Japan and I think MMMbop was one of the big songs that summer.

Turned 34 on the 6th. It does feel like I'm getting old as my memory is getting worse - more prone to forgetting names of names of people/places/things. But I attribute it more to giving a fuck less, which I think is a bigger concern. anywho, What's good my fellow pisces?
I felt older at 24 than I do at 30.
It's that moment of transition to "I'm no longer the teen/early 20's hip cool crowd" that gets you. Once you're past it everything is the same really. Well, except your hairline possibly

OP you're not allowed to feel old until you have chronic back pain. So enjoy a pain free back while it lasts.
I'm only 25 but I'm fat and bald so people usually think i'm older. Age is just a number until your hair falls out!

I certainly don't think so. When I think young adult I think of college kids. Like people 19 to 24 or so. Once you hit your mid twenties it feels weird to call yourself a young adult still.
Happy birthday! Now, stop counting and start getting shit done.
Ok lad, that's an uncalled kick in the nuts.

What is it with people feeling "old" in their twenties here?
With all the problems Italy has, we're such a gerontocracy that people in their fifties are still called (pretty) young even by 30yos. You aren't allowed to call yourself old until you're 70 here, and even then, octuagenarians will still call you kid, LOL.

I saw them play this live on Saturday night. Was super cool
Also lol @ thinking 24 is old. It wasn't till I hit about 27 that I started thinking I was getting 'old'. You get the feeling with each birthday but then it fades until you hit the next one
Ditto and ditto
