I do remember when I turned 30 and loving it and everyone saying that to me too ...."oh wow, you look so young" :-) Now I'm 43 and I realize I WAS so young! And, I'm sure when I'm 53, I'll look back at now and think the same thing... I WAS so young. Funny how young and old change with one's own age. I'll never forget when my mother turned 30. I was 12 (she had me truly very young!) and thinking wow, my mom is SOOOOOO old :-) and 40's was for grandma's! Yoga is good to keep you young! Love, Linda Well, now I see being 30 as being SO young!

Thank you for stopping in here! There was definitely a time in my young[er] years I would have been PISSED to have been carded or questioned about my age. Now though, I'm all over it! I have to admit, recently I purchased wine, approached the cashier (who didn't I.D. me!) and suggested, "er, did you want to see my driver's license?" She was like, "no, you look old enough to me..." True story. The only reason I've ever coveted turning back time is to pursue my dreams earlier - no fear! - like I'm determined to do now. What a pleasant surprise! Thank you for stopping in here!

I work among high school students a lot and they are like "WOW, You don't look anywhere near 30" "I can't believe you have a kid and you are MARRIED!" Ok, So what is that supposed to mean? It doesn't hurt my feelings or anything, but It is funny isn't it? 30 was a milestone for me though. A really really good one. I didn't start blogging till I was 30, didn't feel good in my skin till I was 29. 30 has been shaping up to be the best year of my life and I feel it just getting better. I WOULD NEVER want to be 20 again, or 25 for that matter. Every year I get a little closer to the age I feel like I really am. So, I am 30 and I get this comment ALL THE TIME.

I have no idea what 30 is supposed to look like either! The weird thing is that I have two friends/co-workers who are 20 & 40 respectively and when we hang out I don't feel like we look like we have 3 decades between us (mind you, my 40 year old friend looks pretty freaking fantastic, and not at all what you'd expect a 40 year old to look like) or maybe I am just totally delusional! ha. I wish I didn't worry about the superficial aspects of aging but I do. People who I know who are already 30 + said that once they "crossed over" into the 3-0's they felt this new sense of confidence about themselves. This is awesome & I'm going to try and embrace this mentality! These are exactly the thoughts that have been going through my head lately. I have no idea what 30 is supposed to look like either!

I thought, I'm about to be 30, I don't want to be mistaken for a child. Last week someone told me I looked like I was between 30 and 35. I didn't like that either. He tried to cover it up by saying it was because I "seemed older" but the damage had already been done. I guess I'm far more self-conscious about my age than I ever realized. :P In the past two years, I’ve gotten somewhat upset if anyone told me I looked like I was under the age of 21.

Everybody around me is getting married, with mortgages, with kids...but as I was told the other day that I can easily pass for 25 (which is pretty damn good considering the hard living I've done) so I may just get away with it for another five years before the ladies start questioning "what's wrong with him?" because I haven't settled down.

I am 28. It isn't that I think I am super old. I know I'm not. I guess it is just that I would like to be at a different place than I am at the current moment. Wow, I don't know if I have ever truly acknowledged that until now. Yeah, there you go. I wish I could rewind a few years to put myself on the track I'd like to be. P.S. I took a sort of blog hiatus (from writing and reading). I missed reading your stuff. Glad to be back. I am slightly uncomfortable with my age. I am 28. It isn’t that I think I am super old.
