I love the way you explore this idea and I agree 100%. I still feel like a wandering teenager most days. Was just writing a poem the other day about how I want to keep living with the magic of my teenage heart. I would imagine that having kids or losing a parent would definitely cause a major shift internally. I have not reached either of these points in my life, so I still feel very very young. I think there is something deeply freeing though about being able to just live how you feel rather than worrying about an age "number." We can have the energy, the spirit of whatever age we want. It is a beautiful way to live. It makes life interesting. It keep you curious, able to wonder and dream. My late grandfather was a child at heart until he left this earth. Even as an old man at his assisted living facility he would slide down stair bannisters and skip down the halls singing and dancing like a child. (We certainly had to watch him like a child! 😂) He was always so full of joy and wonder and it was contagious. I love that he lived that way.
I appear to "adult" well from the outside by the way I carry myself and handle my responsibilities. But I definitely feel like a teenager at heart most days. I just turned 30 and there's all these big milestones coming up in the next decade and I hardly feel ready for any of them. When I was young I thought I'd have so much figured out by now. But I still feel mostly the same as I did when I was young! It's definitely hard to comprehend that so much time has passed.
