My dad is turning 36 in April, and quite a few of my friends (I’m 18, for reference) say that he doesn’t “act his age.” By that, they mean he posts a lot on Instagram (especially daily Stories where he vlogs his life, lol), he’s trendy and very open-minded, works out and takes great care of himself so he looks hot, and he’s really into nightlife and partying. He’s also very adventurous and just a fun guy in general. They don’t think it’s a bad thing at all - in fact, they think it’s cool. But it got me wondering: how is a 36-year-old supposed to act? lol

    Not at all. I’m 64. Moved from my country to another one about 30 years ago. I was 33 when I came here. It feels like I was over there for 10 years and here for another another 10 years.

    In my mind I’m 40.

    Life is short, but moreso in the way you feel than in the actual numbers. Numbers are only that, a number. Your life is not measured by days, but by events. Start doing awesome stuff.
