Age is but a number

If you think about it, age really is just a number.

I have been told that I am anywhere from 17-22. It is extremely flattering, even though I am not those ages. I have been told that I blend in so well with the younger crowd.

It's not because of what I do (such as drinking, partying, etc.). Or even because I wear clothes that they wear (even though I do keep up with fashion, even I can't pull off the styles they can).

It's just in how I look. I do drink a cup of coffee 5 times a week (well not anymore, it's Summer). I don't eat junk food. I don't drink like I did when I was 21 (and even then, it wasn't like a lot of people). I don't smoke. I don't do drugs of any kind. I don't drink a lot of caffeine (other than the aforementioned cup of coffee).

I don't look my age, but I do act it. However, I feel younger than I actually am. How old do I feel, you ask? I feel 16. I don't know why, but I have felt 16 for awhile now. Other than getting my driver's license at that age, I don't know think it was a greater age than any other age.

I have found that if a person is positive, is motivated, surrounded by amazing people, they will feel younger than their actual age. If that is quite the opposite, then the person will most often feel older.
