    In a little over 5 months, I won’t have to lie anymore…
    Obviously, I am not old. But it feels odd. I vividly remember thinking that “9th graders are really old”. I remember waiting to turn 13 to play PUBG (it was in the license agreement, and I actually took the time to read it ¯\_(ツ)_). Hell, I even thought the 6 year old kindergartners were old when I was 3.
    I’ll probably think back to writing this comment in 10 years.
    The time feels weird with all the memories piling up.
    I am overthinking again. Sorry.

        Ugh, I hate that. I also seem to be surrounded by old-looking people who are exactly my age! It’s like someone flipped a switch the moment I turned 40 roughly 10 months ago 😂

      When I was 18 I remember selecting “yes I’m over 18” for the first real time. I was just hit with the reality of “Oh. I’m not doing anything naughty anymore. I’m not in the wrong at all. I am now just a dude watching porn.” hits harder than you think.
