Talked with Stacy on the phone yesterday. Among a million things we talked about, I wished her a happy belated b-day! I just learned that her b-day was 2 weeks ago. She said, "Yeah 26. I feel so old." I laughed.
I know what she means though. I told her when I turned 25, it finally dawned on me what all the hoopla about age anxiety was. See, up until 25, we're either children or young adults...and suddenly...WHAM! It's a quarter century! That was the first year I occasionally found myself lying to people about my age. I often held "22" in strong favor because it was still believable.
While Stacy & I were talking about that, it suddenly occured to me that something huge is going to happen to me this year. 30!!!!!!!!!! Can you freaking believe it?!?!?!
I do not feel 30, whatever 30 is supposed to "feel" like. At this moment I am holding fast at 29.46 years. (Don't check my math; that was an educated estimate.)I'll be twenty-nine and-a-half on February 8th.
Just look at me agonizing over this!!!
For all intensive purposes, I feel 18. And I plan to remain that way for a long, long time.
