Turning 36 in a month and I agree that sometimes it's hard to cope with the fact that I'm no longer in my 20's. I don't think it's the fact that i'm aging as I certainly enjoy the wisdom, the money, the confidence that age has brought me, it's the increased responsibility that seems to come with age. People feel the need to constantly ask me (especially family members) questions like "when are you getting married" "when are you having kids". I think that's what bugs me about getting old. Feeling the need to settle down when I don't want to. The thing that I'm working on remembering is that I need to live life on my own terms and fuck what everyone else is thinking I should be doing. Same advice I would give to you. Enjoy your life no matter what age you are and live it at your own pace.
