Well, it only goes downhill from there.
Soon you'll find yourself with a job and mortgage and worries.
You'll see your friends getting married and you'll take the plunge giving you a > 50% chance of failure.
Life is over honey. Start getting used to it.
Ok, just kidding.
Actually, marriage, kids and a mortgage do trap you somewhat, but it is a kind of cozy place to be trapped when you're ready for it.
Love my wife and kids and home.
The only regret I have in looking back is my career. I chose a cubicle profession when in reality I'm not a cubicle person. My job is good, I make plenty, but am mostly bored, yet have to keep coming back.
My advice? Use your 20s to find out what it is you want to do for a career. Do this before making any other decisions. Find something that you love so much that you can't wait for Monday morning. If you have to move from job to job for 10 years that's ok.
Then take that same attitude with your future spouse.
Don't compromise and you'll be happy!

Everyone gets old. No one is immortal. I found that the best way to cope with it is to make the best of what you have and what you are gaining rather than worying about what you are losing. To focus on what has passed and what you cannot have only takes time and energy away from all of the wonderful you CAN experience and what is coming from the future. Good luck in resolving your feelings. I hope you feel better.

You're NOT Old. I'm 23. I'm not old either. I don't think old is until you are like 70.
There is nothing to be scared about. You are becoming a responsible adult who depends less and less on parent figures. Grow up and enjoy the world.

Your age is only a number. You'll still be you no matter how many candles go on your birthday cake.

20 isn't old. Just ask someone who's 30.

Except the challenge, there's so much more to life after your teen yrs.

If you don't want to get old your best bet is to build a time machine. Good luck.

I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING
I AM 23 NOW
BUT THERE IS NO REALLY WAY OF GETTING OVER IT, IT JUST HAPPENS, ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING, THAT WAY YOU FEEL THAT YOUR YEARS ARE NOT GOING BY IN VAIN.
HOPE IT HELPS.
