    You're not old until you're dead as far as I'm concerned.

    My great-grandmother was 94 and a man asked her age. She replied "17". I looked at her thinking she had become senile and asked; "Do you really think that you are 17?" She replied; "A woman is only as old as she feels and I feel like 17."

    Old to me is when the person doesn't feel young anymore, for some that happens at the age of 25 for others it never happens.

    My great-grandmother died "17" years old. *smiles*

    If you act old, you're old. If you act young, you're young. All there is to it. I'm 34. Some days I feel old. Most days I act young. Age is relative.

    I think once a person gets in their thirties they realize age doesn't matter anymore.
