Feel like I'm getting old...

23!! HA!!! If anyone is gets concerned about being old before they hit early 30's then they haven't done enough with their life.

I'm 29, will be 30 a few months and feel the same I did 12 years ago, age doesn't bother me. Until I start having age related health problem I have no control over THEN I will get worried.

The end is nigh.

I thought everything was good til I turned 30.

Steep downhill slope from now on.
Policemen look too young. Politicians look too young. Fit Girls look too young etc etc etc

Body doesn't recover form nights out til the afternoon. Getting up in the night to take a pee
 
Lately I feel as if I am growing old (I am only 23). I have started going the local more with a mate or 2 and just playing pool and having 3 or 4 pints and heading home. I have also started to get fit with a punch bag, I use it for about 3 hours a week...anyway, with just the above, I would be fine...but the latest mad thing I feel strangely compelled to do, is to take up golf...

I have never played golf in my life, yet now I feel like buying some clubs and heading down to the local course...I have only ever thought as golf as a sport/hobby for retired people...

Anyone else have random strong feelings towards starting some random new sport/hobby and should I just give in, buy a cheap £100 set of clubs and do it?

I hate you. I hit the big four-zero in less than a year :mad:

On the plus side, I'm really looking forward to my mid-life crisis!
 
I'm 28 next week, and feeling pretty darn grumpy about it. Mainly because I'm the 'airy fairy' one of all my friends. They're all sorted with babies and marriage. I'm quite content without those things at the minute, but my family think otherwise :mad:

Don't listen to them for a minute. Be happy with what you have right now. I hate the fact people want others to follow the stereotypical lifestyle at that age.
 
lol your mad OP

at 23 I left my job and went travelling for nearly 3 months, had a great time.

At 45 I took 6 weeks off and drove to Ulan Bator Mongolia in an old banger.

I'll be 46 in about 2 weeks, I only feel old because I creak when I get up in the morning.. Stop putting yourself in ya box early and go live life..

Great post.
 
i'm 32...wish i was 23 again. Trust me...once you hit 30 or so, things start flying by. I'm already at the stage of thinking of my own mortality on an almost daily basis!
 
It seems as though your preconceptions about certain things (e.g. hobbies) are making you think you're old... Try to be more 'open minded'.

I`m the same, I`m 31 next month and some dude where I work dies at 54 of a heart attack in his sleep. He seemed so normal and did not smoke or drink. Only 23 years older than me
 
I'm 27 and the last I checked I'd just turned 23. Four years went missing. Can I have them back please? There's a lot I'd like to do!
 
You think Golf is bad? You'll need Cialis next year. By the time you reach 27, you'll be able to chamois an entire SUV with your scrotum.

Might as well go with the flow. No point in fighting it.
 
In your 20's and moaning ... you need whacking with a big stick.

On a serious note though, that old saying 'youth is wasted on the young' is the truest thing ever. I'm 42 and if i knew back then what i know now .....
 
I actually wish id taken up golf. Id love to be able to play to a decent standard but i couldnt go through the learning curve now.

Similarly i wish i had a motorbike licence but i wouldnt want to learn now.

Its probably poor on my part as im only 34 but these are two things i should have done when i was younger.
