Ya know I have been dealing with people who only see my age my whole life. The more they focus on age the more I resent them. When we only focus on age, we completely dismiss the person and their issues.
A lot of times online I refuse to let people know my age for certain reasons. Usually when people see someone's age they do exactly what makes me resent them. Either that or they think I lying about certain things or making them bigger than they really are.
I could sit for hours upon hours talking to an 80 year old while people my own age I have a hard time relating to if they haven't been through hell and back. Why? Simply because in an 80 year old's life they've experienced the same stuff or the same amount of things as I have in all my 28 years. My morals and values are so much like theirs too, while I find it difficult to understand how anyone can enjoy going clubbing, partying all the time, or doing things that are so common with the younger generations. When I'm introduced to someone my own age or younger that has been through the same things or similar things as me I cling to them like crazy...I don't get that very often.
Ok, sorry...I'm rambling now...I'll just shut up.
