Aging

Aging is a funny thing. After every birthday it seems that someone always asks. "So do you feel older?" It seems that you never do. Its not like overnight you suddenly gain the responsibilities that come with growing up and become an adult. But recently I turned 23 and at the time I felt the same. But after I remembered that when I was younger thinking that 23 is getting up there. I know that according to society you still are pretty young. But its funny to think back to my other birthdays like turning 21. Everyone is excited to turn 21 even if you drink or not, just knowing you can is exciting. And turning 22 is not a big deal I guess you realize that you have been able to do what all the adults can do for only one year and its not a big deal but for some strange reason 23 is different. You feel older and you look around and you see your friends settleing down, getting married, and starting their families. But I just think that it is interesting that after one day, in my situation, I can actually answer the question Do you feel any older? with a yes I really do feel a little older.
