I'm 23
When i was younger, people used to tell me that once you reach the twenties, time passes very fast. just blink and you did see 22-23-24-25-26... just flash past you. I think I am understanding what that actually means. I am 23.
Honestly, the chronological age of 23 seems not to carry much weight. As I look around me and think about what a 23 year old should be like, there isn't really an age limit, nor a norm to what that age carries.
I don't usually get identified as someone who's in her early twenties. Contrary to the fact that people think I would get offended because that would mean I am OLD, I take pride to the fact that I act older or rather, higher level of maturity. haha
What we do with our years is very important. The decisions we make, how we shape our lives, the growth and the personality, etc. Those are the things that determine age. Not exactly just the number of hours or days someone has roamed this earth.
Should a 23 year old be someone who's independent and able to determine what she wants in life? Or able to understand the difference between idealism and realism? Or be able to place others first before herself? Or able to love someone else so much so to enter marriage? Or able to take tough situations in her own stride? Or be able to accept injustice in an obviously unjust world?
What is it exactly that makes you - YOUR AGE?
