At some point you'll be talking to someone a lot younger than you and realize that somehow they're still an adult and then immediately after they'll do something incredibly immature. Will make that top line will drop so fast.
Yup, that's me. I work w/ people 10+ years younger than me. I think I'm old.
The state of being old is a whole bunch of things that correlate with chronological age, but unless you know someone moving at relativistic speeds, chronological age is the only one we all move through at the same rate.
If you can hold on to the good bits of youth, like open-mindedness, and grow along dimensions like maturity, maybe youth doesn't need to be wasted on the young.
