I turned 70 last month, and I have been stuck feeling like I was fifteen or sixteen my whole life. So of course I have looked immature, and acted like a kid, in many ways, for all these years. When I was in my mid 30's I got into racing bicycles, and I got super fit.

When I was 50 I dropped out and moved to a one room shack on the beach on an island in the Caribbean. When I moved there in '92 things were pretty backwards, no phones, no electricity (for a while), and one thing that was scarce was mirrors. I would go for many months without ever seeing myself. When I finally moved back here in 2006 it took me a while for me to actually see that I didn't look like a young 50 year old.

But whatever... to myself... in myself, my for itself in it's self, I'm in my mid-twenties.

I'm graduating high school on saturday and I've been mistaken for as young as a 5th grader! I've had to show my ID before and say my birthday and the cashier didn't believe me. It's kind of annoying. Also when I was at a store trying to fix my account there, they asked if I was 13 or older. This stuff happens all the time.
