I'm 28. Am I scared about that? No. I work semi full-time talking to people online, and every now and then someone assumes I must be counting the years. The funny thing is... I'm not. Maybe it's because I've met people in their early twenties who still don't know who they are. And I've met people in their forties who have a calmness, confidence, and way of connecting with others that only came with time. Age has never been the most interesting thing about a person. How they make you feel is. I've never stayed in someone's life because they were younger. I've stayed because they listened. They were kind. They were funny. They were genuine. They made me feel understood. Those things don't disappear when you turn 30. If anything, many of them get stronger. I'm sure some doors close as we get older. But others only open because we've lived enough to have something real to offer. So no, I'm not panicking about aging. I'd rather spend that energy becoming someone worth remembering at any age.
