To quote Deanna Carter, "I still remember when thirty was old." It kind of blows my mind that I'm now older than nearly everyone I saw as "old" when I was a kid.
My definition of "old" keeps changing. I don't think I've used the word in quite a while, to be honest... when describing age, I'll say "older" (in comparison to me), or just give their general age.
I'm now approaching what I used to think of as old... but I certainly don't feel old. In some ways, I feel like a kid who's just playing at being an adult. It's a strange feeling.
