53 did seem old to me then. Sometimes feel old when I see someone in their 30 and realize that I am old enough to be their father.
When I was in my teens, I saw my current age as virtually dead. ... Hey! I was in my teens!!! You, know ... you think you know everything!
When I see old pictures of celebrities that I thought of as old when in my teens I look st them now and think “good grief, he/she was just a youth!” I remember, when about 15 years old, thinking that Bob Dylan was getting on a bit and past it; he was 30 at the time.
Yes and no. My maternal grandparents were slightly older than than my current age and they were young at heart. Now when I see teens and anyone under twenty-five I have a tendency to think of them as a kid, not out of disrespect necessarily, just because of the age gap.
I never thought I'd make it to 18, let alone my age now. So absolutely!
I did not expected to reach 60 to tell you the truth. I remember wondering what we were going to do at 40 to get pussy? The answer was... prostitutes(according us 13-14 year olds). Well... so ignorant of me... I got more poontang on my 40's than any other decade. After that... does not mattered how old I was going to get. 40's were the bomb. 50's were glory days after the battle was over. On my 60's I am resting to charge again on my 70's.
Hell I see it as old now, but do I feel old...not really and yes I did see.my age as old when I was in my teens
I can remember my mamaw's 38th birthday, I was 8. When I was a teenager she seemed ancient, but she was only in her 40's. Now, here I am with a son that's the same age that I was when my grandmother was the age I am now and I realize age is what you make of it. She acted old, so she was. I don't, so I'm not.
I didn't really give it any thought. I just remember not wanting to work in a factory ever but I did work there for a year. Long enough.
People seemed to act much older then at a younger age.
Women in their late forties and early fifties were wearing those snap-front house coats and ugly shoes.
Men were buttoning their pants at chest level and showing white socks with black shoes.
People are active and engaged with life and wearing jeans often to the end of a long life.
Steven Tyler is 70. If a 70 year old like that existed when I was in HS I did not know about it.
I had a teacher who was around my current age, and I thought she was smoking hot. On the other hand, no matter how old you get, your parents will always be too old.
When I was a teen most adults I knew were either in their 40s or in their 70s. I don't have any memories of thinking anyone old. I am mother to someone who is 30, and 33, and 26. And grandmother to two under 2. Do I feel old, sometimes. I have some aches and pains now and the floor seems so low and so hard to gracefully get off of. I'm working on that though. I have sorta retired and I'm using this time to get more exercise and into better health. I don't mind being "old" I just don't want to be decrepit.
