      Coming from someone who was your age before you were born: you do you.

      ‘Age’ is mostly just a matter of experience and perspective anyways. I could be as old as earth itself but lack the experience to know any better. On the other hand, you could have a better perspective on things (compared to me) because you have been through a lot, or is more thoughtful and reflective about things.

        This is the key. I know older people who act like they’re in their twenties, and 30 year olds who act like curmudgeonly old men. My girlfriend’s grandfather decided almost overnight that he was an old man and suddenly began to act the part.

        Half of age is perspective.

          This has brought quite a funny mental image to me.

          A man like this

          a young Ian McKellen

          suddenly turning into this

          Ian McKellen as Gandalf

          almost like magic.
