8 Reasons Why I Don’t Feel Old After Leaving My Twenties

I wrote this a long time ago when I hit 30. Yup. Most would complain about feeling old. But here’s why I don’t feel old, like ever.

So recently I turned 30.

Friends and family alike are teasing me about it. And society has laid upon me rules that dictate that I should carry forth “old” things to match the label.

But I don’t feel at all. Not a damn bit. I don’t feel any different from when I was 25, or 20 even, except feeling more confident and like a better person as a whole.
