When Should You Start to Feel Old?

When Is It Time to Feel Old?
Is it me or is it the minute you hit 30 you feel like dirt. I don't feel this way all the time but every now and then life reminds you that you aren't young anymore. Your back now hurts, your knees feel a little wobbly and you can't seem to stay up past 10:00. And memory? Forget about it. I can't remember anything to save my life now. I did read in an article that once you pass 26 or so you lose the retention you used to have for memory. Great. What was I talking about? Oh yeah, right, old age. Is it too soon to feel old?
Somehow since I've began to delve into my 30's I began to feel weighed down with age. I don't know if it's the responsibilities you start to form once you are out on your own in the world. Or if it's just living a mundane life of working all the time and everything you do amounts to nothing it seems. Maybe it's just a glitch in your mind that makes you think you are older than what you are? If you find yourself feeling bogged down with the feelings of getting older let's talk about it and pep one another up. If you're single like me chances are you have no one around to let you know how vibrant and youthful you really are. We might be all we have to get through this.

"If you think it, you become it". So I guess we better start thinking like we're physically 18! Although I wouldn't want to be there mentally and emotionally for anything. Embrace your age at 30, 40, or even 90. Cute hub.
Thanks ladies. It's just funny. You hit 30 and you still think I'm young, I'm young and then you check out the 20 year old to your left and think Oh God...what happened. Ha! I know I'm not old and even when I am in my nineties I will still be young. I think that's probably what I'm worried about most is feeling young on the inside when I won't be on the outside. That "trapped in someone else's body" feeling. And not being able to do the thing's you used to do. But the feeling is intermittent and passes and I'm young again.
Hilarious but I understand the worries. At 30, I felt like you and I dyed my locs and then felt better! I think when you get past your thirties you will feel freer and not so encumbered by life. It all comes easier, you don't worry about other people or how they feel about you. Maybe you'll get a kid and that will change your world! It gets better as you get older I believe. I love life and my current 20~something age! Giggles! Peace!
Too late! I already can care less what people think of me. Lord knows how I will be when I'm older. But it allows me to be candid with people and I kinda dig that about me. And children....uh no. Ha! I don't see that in my future. But who knows what life has in store for me. Bottom line: there's really not a number to age it's all in how you feel. And some days I know I'm better and hotter than that 20 year old aching back or not.
Don't feel too down about being 30. When I turned 30 I saw it as a release to all the stupidity and chaos of my twenties. I feel a lot more wise and have calmed down more since I hit my thirties and can recognize the people I don't want to deal with a lot sooner.
It sometimes get to me carolinemd21 and I think it comes from my long hour days at work. It seems since I started doing it I feel older and older.

Don't fret about being 30, you are still young and actually your life is just beginning now because you are all the wiser. Nice Hub!
