Born in 01. I’m excited to be 24 and have a celebration with my girlfriend and family, but I feel OLD.

What is the cutoff? When do you stop being a young woman?

(I was going to say I wish I was still around 10 years younger when I realized that people born in 2011 are going to be/are 14 and not 5.)

Other edit: It’s been almost 8 years since my Sweet 16. Holy crap. My sister was 6.

    Young and old is relative. I side with those saying young is until 40, then you’re middle aged.

      Whereas I’m in my late 40s and don’t feel particularly old… if anyone describe me as middle aged I’d assume they were joking around 😂

        I’d just presume they mean you’re no spring chicken anymore. I’m in my late 30s, don’t feel old at all, most people say I look ten years younger than my actual age. But I don’t feel like I belong in the same category as someone in their 20s. Middle aged would be the most appropriate way to describe me in a couple years, even if I don’t look the part.
