80's Babies Are Getting Old

Over on my friend's facebook, this has been making the rounds amongst us vanguard Millennials. Pretty scary, no?

It's a weird thing. I remember back in 2003, I used to tell people I was born in 1985, and they'd go, "Wow, you're so young!"

 

Now I tell people that I was born in 1985, and I get, "Damn, you're old." It's weird- I think my mind pretty sees the mid/late 2000's as being about yesterday, and that my peers (i.e. those born around 1984-1989) are the "youth peers", and the realization that there's this whole new generation rising (those that were born in the mid/late 1990's) is pretty weird.

 

Sometimes I really wish I could get those 10 years back. Other times, I'm glad I lived those years, and but I'm also glad I don't need to go back to them. 21 was fun in some ways, absolutely horrible in other ways.

 

But yeah, it's weird that 80's babies are turning into the 30-something generation. I was so used to us being the teenagers/twenty-sopmethings. Even weirder to me is that the 70's babies are now hitting their 40's. Someone tells me they were born in the late 70's, and I feel like they should be around their late 20's, not pushing 40.

 

Time just keeps on slipping into the future, doesn't it?

80's babies think they're getting old?

Lol - what about us 40's babies then?

 

I emphatically agree with you that time slips into the future at a rapid rate though. :)

Thank you for the realization that my friend's son, who was born the year after I graduated high school, is now 25 years old.  Now I feel old.  lol

Don't try to feel old before your time, it gets here quickly enough.   Besides, haven't you heard, 70 is the new 50!

Age isn't important, I'm just glad to be here. I'm pretty healthy, try to stay that way. Keep on learning and loving. The other option, I'm not ready for yet. So as Dylan Thomas said, Do not go gentle into that good night.
