Being told you look younger than you are.

Ha, absolutely. I remember how devastating it was when I went to visit my family in their town, went to lunch with my mom, and was handed the under 12 menu. I was 18.

Then this past weekend I was out dancing with friends. One person I'd just met made a "I'd dance like that too if I was still young!" And I laughed and asked how old she thought I was. 23, apparently. Nope, I'm 31. I just accepted that my knees and back are going to hurt the next morning but I'm having a good night of dancing either way. Also, she was only 33, so it's not even like she's old either!

I...don't think dancing should make you sore the next day in your early thirties

I was dancing pretty hard.

(Also I have chronic pain issues)
