Born in 01. I’m excited to be 24 and have a celebration with my girlfriend and family, but I feel OLD.

What is the cutoff? When do you stop being a young woman?

(I was going to say I wish I was still around 10 years younger when I realized that people born in 2011 are going to be/are 14 and not 5.)

Other edit: It’s been almost 8 years since my Sweet 16. Holy crap. My sister was 6.

    For me (male) even turning 30 didn’t feel “old”; in my mind that was still basically in my 20s. When I turned 31, though, it hit me. Of course, it’s still not old, at most middle age, but hard to say you’re “young” anymore. But hopefully that means mature. You still have a lot of your energy and health, hopefully, but now also hopefully have a better understanding of what to do and how to make the best use of your life for your goals.
