This isn't really of the same caliber of "life issue" as a lot of the other things in here, but I was struck by it just now...
I always told myself I was never going to let myself be one of those people who worry about how old they are and how their youth is slipping away. I never wanted to be one of those people who was 20 and complaining about being an old woman. But god damn if I don't feel old sometimes!
It's hit me a few times lately just how long ago certain things were. I was watching reruns of Frasier last night and was quite literally struck dizzy when I realized that show began TWENTY YEARS AGO. Jesus ******** Christ!
I am 27. That isn't old. Most of the time I feel I'm really quite young! But when I start to notice that.... well, that s**t that happened when I was a fairly big kid, s**t that I actually remember, was happening two entire decades ago... it's hard not to feel a little long in the tooth.
It also makes me feel dreadfully old and uncool when I realize that I use phrases like "long in the tooth" as if anyone under the age of 40 can hear them without rolling their eyes. emo
