    In a little over 5 months, I won’t have to lie anymore…
    Obviously, I am not old. But it feels odd. I vividly remember thinking that “9th graders are really old”. I remember waiting to turn 13 to play PUBG (it was in the license agreement, and I actually took the time to read it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). Hell, I even thought the 6 year old kindergartners were old when I was 3.
    I’ll probably think back to writing this comment in 10 years.
    The time feels weird with all the memories piling up.
    I am overthinking again. Sorry.

      That’s just how life works. Wait until you get to be in your 40s or 50s and your doctor is younger than you, and so is you boss.

        Ugh, I hate that. I also seem to be surrounded by old-looking people who are exactly my age! It’s like someone flipped a switch the moment I turned 40 roughly 10 months ago 😂

      When I was 18 I remember selecting “yes I’m over 18” for the first real time. I was just hit with the reality of “Oh. I’m not doing anything naughty anymore. I’m not in the wrong at all. I am now just a dude watching porn.” hits harder than you think.
