The one where you realise how old you are

Ever been in a situation where you figured out you were either stuck in time or just gone way ahead of it?.

Okay I may have left the imagination too open for confusion here. I am talking about age, I am talking about how one feels with regards to the number that represents their age.I have been in both sides in this scenario. There have been times I realised I'm unreasonably stuck in the bubble of a high school girl and then I've felt encased by the hardships of life making me feel like I'm 30.

But the beauty of both these experiences has been that I learned a lot about life and what age brings to it. One can never know what they should or shouldn't be doing at a certain age.
Because if you were to set out on a journey observing various people and their status through the ages of their lives you'd be heavily confused.

In the world we're living in now, 50 year olds are uneducated, 21 year olds are billionaires, 40 year old women are still procrastinating about having a child, 16 year olds are having 2 babies. It's all just too complicated to find normalcy in.

But the only thing I believe one could do, is try to be happy no matter what the number is. And that would automatically elevate the quality of your life, which is more important than the length of it. Doesn't matter if you live till you're only 20 or 30 if you've lived your life to the fullest in terms of peace, happiness and love, you've done your age justice.

And hence I believe the only criteria for one to know how they should feel at any age should depend solely on how they're making use of every second. And how satisfied they are, and most importantly how ready they are for death.
