The strange thing is that my subjective age has always been about 20.

Two shock realisations:

One: when I looked in the mirror one day and my reaction was "Who is that old bastard?"

Two: when my mind suddenly came up with the thought "Fuck! I'm only 18 months off being 80. 80!!"

I feel older as I get older. (40+)
