Reverse Aging

Last week, a conversation at work touched upon age. I was asked how old I was again and I said "oh I'm 25." A coworker said, "but wait, aren't you a year younger than me?" and I said "yeah I am" to which she responded "but i just turned 28 that means you're turning 27, how can you be 25?!?" I had to re-think what I just said and do the math then we started laughing. Yep. I am 26 and this is the first time EVER that I forgot how old I was. Majority of the time, people think I'm waaay younger here in the US anyway so I don't feel the need to hide my real age. Thanks to being petite and Asian. This threw me off though. Why am I forgetting my age all of a sudden?!

Esep esep. When you're younger you have thoughts of what life ought to be at this/that age. Maybe, finish school at 22/23, get a career-driven job at 24/25, settle down at 26/27, have children at 28/29 and so on and so forth. But when you actually start "living" your life and find it different from these preconceived notions then the concept of numbers is just but lost.

***I'm taking my time but I'm actually looking forward to my 30s. I say this to my coworkers and I think only one of them agrees with me. The rest just think I'm looney for looking forward to aging. But in the mean time, Yes I AM 26. woohoo!!!!! i lav et!
