    You younglings won’t understand, but after about age 35, your brain filters out calendar math and you won’t notice the meme is wrong.

      I could tell if someone was under 18/21 up until I was 30. At 32 everyone under 22 looks like so young to me now. At 35, I forgot I wasnt 32

      There was a article where the journalist asked a dozen people how old they felt, versus their actual age.

      And every single person said they felt in their heads, 10-20 years younger. Like, a 54yo said they felt more like they were 35yo.

      I’m hitting forty and I feel like I just understood what life is about, something I should have felt in my mid20s.
