(22) and I kinda trend older appearance and personality wise.. I have more muscle now than I've ever had and if I could commit to running again I would officially be in the best shape of my life lol. I know 22 is far too young for the body to begin breaking down but some people I went to high school with would prove otherwise.. I like to think you don't lose things to age but to time,, both mentally and physically..
I absolutely do not relate to the youth and find it really funny just how much they look like children to me even though I was that age a few years ago. At some point maybe around 20 I recall noticing a switch had flipped and suddenly high schoolers looked like small children to me. I kinda struggle to relate to people my age even, which I think comes from doing things alone for as long as I have been.
So no I don't *feel* old but I call myself old in an ironic way. I'm not out of touch, it's the children who're wrong..

🕰i just feel like me. i felt old when i was like 22-24 but now at 27 i’m just like wow i haven’t been alive that long and actual old people just see me as a 20-something. also like yeah while i guess you get more mature with more life experience, your brain still feels the same somehow (maybe bc maturity isn’t linear or a truly measurable metric). i get why people begin to lose touch with things as they get older not bc they’re too old to understand but it’s like what use do i have knowing what cultural signifiers will get me approval from a 10, 15 or even 20 year old? i don’t even care what my peers think.
i used to have an obsession with mustaches and bacon in middle school and said shit like “rawr means i love you in dinosaur xD” like i have no place judging the new stuff that the kids are saying today.

🌱But honestly, I don't feel that old. I just turned 22 and I'm growing into myself with every year and somehow am feeling younger than I did the past few years. I've been out of shape (comparatively to the runner I was in hs) and am just trying to get back into working out, so I know my body has been feeling so old because of that.
I couldn't care less about what other generations have to say or think about gen z. I fit some stereotypes and go against others. Just cause you're getting older and farther away from the "young generation" of the moment, doesn't make you less cool. Think about the cool millennials or get x or boomers in your life. It's about who you are, not what generation you're a part of.

🧚I guess it has to do both with being a lesbian+trans masc and hanging around my grandparents for most of my childhood but like my idea of old is 50+. If I am not in serious danger of medical complications leading to my death randomly, then I am young.
Though, I will say that things like skibidi toilet and kids asking what Charlie the Unicorn is does make me feel older, however the feeling that overcomes me isn’t “OH MY GOD I‘M OLD” it’s “OH MY GOD YOU WERE BORN YESTERDAY HOW ARE YOU ALIVE YOU FETUS!”
I feel /adult/ but I don’t feel /old/.

🙈My god everything is experienced better this way. Stop looking at guides, walkthroughs, endings explained (my least favorite), even the blurbs on the back. Such a rare opportunity in this time to go into something without knowing anything about it, yet so rewarding. To be pleasantly surprised or blown away, to have no idea what’s happening, to find that you really didn’t like it, an opinion formed on your own.. nothing is more valuable

In the future I hope I will have a cool local diner to do this at
