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?
Not a woman but I just turned 41 recently. Here’s the secret to life from here on out:
While your body keeps changing (slowly) your mind really doesn’t. So you’re going to feel the same as you always did! This is pretty cool!
It’s all relative. I’m 62 - from my perspective you’ve only recently gone from being a girl to being a woman, so for sure a young woman. Of course in ten years I’ll be 72 and you’ll be 34, and I’d still call you a young woman.
I’m 72 and yes, you’re spot-on. You’re both young! Seriously, if I hear of someone dying at 62, I think oh how sad, so young! Perspective is everything.
Thanks! Even though we’re ten years apart, I think we’re together on the tail end of the Lemmy age bell curve. It’s nice to have company.
I’m 34 and I still feel as young as I did at 24, I haven’t experienced any fitness “degradation”. However I don’t have kids; I imagine if that happens and responsibility for another human kicks in it could feel a bit different 😅
As you get older, ppl younger than you just seem youthful at ages you’ve already passed. You’re very young yet, don’t even be stressing it for a long time to come
I would hope so

I have children older than you. It’s a matter of perspective - I think anyone under 50 is young, and no doubt in 10 years time I’ll think the same of anyone under 60. I don’t feel that I really grew up until I was well into my 30s, and my career didn’t really get anywhere before I was 40, but now before I know it I’m retired. Relish your youth - it’ll pass soon enough!
