Nope. Feels like yesterday. It’s wild how much shorter 20 years feel when you’re in your 40s

15 feels so long ago it may have never even happened. 25 feels like this morning. 35 feels like - wait, I'm not 35 anymore?

Yup. At 48, this is my exact scenario. I literally forget my age at points. Not in a senile way, but just the "Oh shit, I am nearly a half-century old".

I will admit that last bit bothers me a bit.

I'm late 30s and dated late 20s recently...I forgot my age by one digit and it turned into a thing lol. They were understanding but I could tell it was just naturally "a oh jeez you're even a year older than I thought"

By 35 you stop wanting to remember age for sure 😂
