I suppose, for me, it was when I started making friends with people outside my own age group. Being 40 and friends with 20 and 30 year-olds, or people in their 70's and 80's and having it just be mutually respectful and enjoyable feels like a big thing when you get to it.

    Haha, with my experiences, it felt like I was constantly put into situations with older people.

    I wonder where all the fun energetic 20-somethings were in my 20's. Like, all hiding out, or in college, or something.

    Once out of high school, I never felt like I had my "peer group." Just, other people. When I do encounter those similar in age now, it feels like they far surpassed me.

    Being able to be friends with any age group is great, I guess. But I never really feel like I belong anywhere, just like I'm visiting and passing through.
