Time flies by

Today, long after ten years ago when I answered the door to someone asking if my mummy and daddy were home, and I was 24 and it was my house, I just now got asked if my 30 year-old sister was my daughter. Time has not been kind to me. FML

Today, I, a person who will be 21 in a few months, was mistaken for my mom's older brother. My mom is in her fifties. Apparently this is becoming increasingly common, because the world sucks. I didn't realize it was affecting me this badly. FML

Today, I was sitting in my garden with my younger sister when she told me that she'd found pictures of me from a decade ago. She also told me that I've changed a lot over the years, because back then I was still pretty. My neighbours overheard it and started laughing out loud. FML

Today, I had to go along with my mom to meet some of her old friends from high school. When they asked her about how her life was going, she said she was married, always traveling, no kids, and introduced me as the neighbor's kid she babysits. FML

On the bright side, you don't get pervy old guys hitting on you because they don't want to waste time with their contemporaries. Or so I've heard.

Pffft... someone I met once thought I was 35 when I was only 19. And someone else confused me for a woman because I have long hair. How they missed the full caveman beard I'll never know. Point is, we can't look the same forever, and some of us look younger for longer, but time catches all of us eventually, and death catches us inevitably. So enjoy your youth while you still have it, kiddo. And remember; you're only as young as you feel, age is just a number, we all look the same in the dark, etc.
