      When I turned 30 I was quite ate up about it.

      Now almost 20 years beyond that point, when a colleague turns 30, “oh whatever you’re still just a baby lol”

      Funny how that works

        perspective and time is a bitch. I hear about my little nieces and nephews getting married or having kids and all I can remember is how tiny they were the last time I saw them.

        I see them and I think, damn you’re still kids.

      I get aarp letters too, but it was also really common in the 90s and early 00s to fill in your birthday as the early half of the 1900s. So I think that’s just them thinking I’m over a hundred.
