This happened when I was 20. I don't know what else to say other than, it fucking sucks.

I remember thinking this after my 6th birthday. I must have picked it up from what adults around me were saying, but I just thought to myself "I guess this is what it's like getting older. When I was 5, I'd have just went up and down that slide all day. Now, I just don't have the energy."

I was convinced! That pervasive optimism has stayed with me throughout life, too. Lucky.
