An absolutely brilliant read, everyone I know has felt like this, I have felt like this at some points in my young life and even nowadays I feel this way. When people ask me how old I am, I have to concentrate and pause a little too long to remember how old I am, for I keep thinking I am 26 or 27, but in actuality I am 31, though I am overly playful for my age I often act like a 9yr old. I think everybody feels like this, I think no one is actually the age that they feel they are - some people cope better than others to react how others expect you to react for your age and others, like me, just don't cope and act in years either too young or too old in front of others; then we're called weirdos.

I identify with this story a lot.
