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.

    You can consider yourself whatever you want for however long you want.

    If you feel young and people thing you are weird for saying so that is their problem. Young is a feeling not a number.

    The main thing now is you are past those every four or so years are different really. The real adulting phase (unless you go to grad schoo :) . Your still in your twenties so this is theoretically one of the better times. Can be on your own but still young enough to party. Once you hit 30’s your life is more marked by how aging starts to effect you. Live it up.

    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 😂

    It wouldn’t hurt. It’s a relative word. Some people way past their prime still could technically say they’re young or feel young.
