I'm 29 today. Weird.
For the whole of my twenties, I've experienced a brief feeling of amazement and befuddlement at my new age, though not in the traditional bemoanment of getting older. I've never been able to figure out exactly what my problem is, but I think I figured it out last night.
I commented on my birthday twin asaintedsinner's post, joking that we could split the difference and both be 27. As I looked at that comment, I thought, Holy Shit. I've already been 27! I don't remember being 27. Then I thought, Holy Shit. I've already been 28. How was I 28 already?
Then I realized that I view time in increments and jumps. For instance, from the time I turned 18 until the time I turned 22/23, I thought of myself as 18. Then I was 22/23 until I turned 26. I've been 26 since then.
I'm not sure if I'll be 29 this year or 26 again. Time will tell.
This seems really odd to me, but it's definitely what my mind's been doing. Anyone experience anything similar?
