The 30-something jokes become a little less funny after you reach 25. Getting older is now a reality and not just a something you post about to get a few laughs and retweets. When your birthday comes around, you contemplate whether you want to include your age in your Facebook birthday post.
Of course you’re still what many consider “young” but the reality that you soon will not be becomes more potent. Not everyone feels this way, but when they do, they probably won’t tell you.
Let’s break that taboo today! You still have so much life to live, and even when you’re “old” you can still experience everyday fully. You are awesome, powerful and still have so much to offer the world.
Here are five signs you’re subconsciously starting to settle in your 20s.
1. You’re Starting to Feel Too Old.
Have you caught yourself saying, “I’m too old for that,” lately? Jokes about getting older will never go out of style, but sometimes we find ourselves saying this a little too seriously. This can especially be true if you’ve had to take on traditional adult responsibilities earlier than usual. You are older, but you’re not too old. You still have great ideas, gifts and talents to offer, and now you can execute them with even more wisdom.
2. You’re Indifferent About Your Dreams.
I hope you haven’t given up already! It’s not too late. Try again! So many of the world’s greatest had late starts. What if they thought there was an age limit to what they had always dreamed and imagined? We would lack so many of the things we now enjoy!
3. You Don’t Care As Much About Excellence.
Every detail used to matter, but now, it’s whatever. After a certain age, we begin to realize just how hard life can be, and sometimes it makes us question, “why does it even matter?” So many have built in privilege or what seems like a never-ending winning streak, but it’s true, you reap what you sow, maybe not as fast as others, but eventually, your vision will come to fruition.
4. You Don’t Care About Presentation.
Appearance it NOT everything! It’s what’s inside that really matters. You don’t need to fixate on your looks, especially not to please others, but having zero concern about your presentation could be a sign that you place less value on you.
5. You Never Try New Things.
It’s possible to become set in your ways in your 20s, especially if, for the most part, everything is good. Why not aim for great? Try a new menu item, take a different path on your daily run, visit another state or take up a new hobby. New things give us fresh inspiration and keep us hungry for greatness.
