Every moment we are older than we were the last. These quick seconds of aging don't really hit us until we look back and see how far away we are from the past. For me, it feels wild yet appropriate that 2013 was ten years ago. I have changed tons in that stretch of time between being a teenager and becoming a full-fledged adult. However, I don't quite feel "old" yet. I think it's unconstitutional for a 23-year-old to claim that they're old in any context. I will start complaining about being old when I meet adults that were born when I was in high school. My elderly whining will commence when I have to stretch every day to feel like I can walk five blocks. I am not old yet, but I have made people feel old by saying I was born in the too-soon year of 1999, and for that, I apologize. Millennials, Gen X-ers, and Baby Boomers alike took to Reddit to discuss things that make them feel old, and for many of us, they are all too relatable.
