Do you feel that you are younger than your actual age?

It is said that we are as old as we feel! Well, I feel younger than my age and that I still have a lot of time to achieve my goals. I am now 27 years old, but I haven't achieved in my life as much as I had planned when I was younger. At the age of 18, I imagined myself having a great job, a house of my own and my financial freedom by the age of 25. Then, I would be independent and ready to start a family of my own! But then I was a student for 5 years, I did a second degree for 1 more year and now I have a job that provides me only as much as I need to spend in a month. I moved back to my parent's house and my dream of having my own place is still in my mind.
I haven't realised that I am going towards 30 and it feels weird every time I think about my age. Have you ever felt this way, that you are younger than you actually are?

I think everybody is like you. We don't know the time flow through out life very fast. And when realise that you are older than what age you want to be. Maybe that will make you get a bad mood. But beside that, you will has experiences and you will know what you exactly need to do now. If you want to get a good job or more money, you haven't to be hesitate. Just go out and find more jobs that content with your conditions. Don't be lazy anymore.
I'm feeling the same thing like you, but I am not feel bad. That is make me get more efforts, it's the mood make me faster faster faster everyday! Hope you will feel better and get what you want!

Experience is a good thing that comes with age! But I've also realised that I am more cautious and I don't take risks very easily! I don't like that, we should take some small risks sometimes!
I am trying my best every day, but sometimes we forget how quickly time passes and we let the important things go away. We should take the chances when they appear and not hesitate to try new things! I think that I'll be able to feel at my age when I start achieving more things. Although I have my job, life etc, I will feel full and completed if I start achieving my life goals one by one!

Sometimes dreams have a long distance from reality. Though some of your dreams still don't come true, but you got a lot of things as time passed by. I believe you dream will come true. It's just a matter of time.

Thanks for your positive energy! I have achieved things in my life, but they all were part of the bigger picture that I have for myself! Now that the bigger picture doesn't become reality, they look like I did all those things for being regular! I don't want to be regular, I want to be successful!

the plans we have don't always go as to what we have thought it to be...
sometimes thinking of our own growing age with the accomplishments we have - whether we made much, just enough or not any at all - may be so delighting, alarming or frustrating but somehow having a good positive outlook in life may make a lot of difference into making us as productive as we can be despite the age we have,

I agree, I am one of the people that have a plan for everything! And I had a certain image of myself at every age! So now, I've reached an age and I don't look like the image of myself in my mind! I don't know if you know what I mean, I hope I have explained my thoughts properly :)
Positive thinking is also important and every year, when I do a list of my accomplishments for the previous year, I am trying to get better next year! It doesn't work always because it also depends on the opportunities that we get. Thanks for your comment!
