Thanks, but no thanks. 34 is so much. That's why I didn't mention it before.

But on the other hand I like being young at heart, but can at the same time say "hey, kiddo, you learn when you grow up".

It's the 1 percenters, 2, 3, 4, 5 percenters who lose. The Nordic Model Sanders strives for works like this here: when you are born you're a net reciever. When you finish school you're a net contributor, and finally when you retire you're again a net reciever. Everybody loses some, everybody gains some.
Well said.

This is a great article that deals with this same subject: What Americans don't understand about Nordic countries - Business Insider

One person doesn't alter overall demographics. That's like saying weather=climate.

I decided to start growing a little bit of facial hair. It's quite irritating to my skin, but I like the look actually. I've gone from a 3/10 to a 3.1/10.

Sorry to interrupt the little model parliament going on here.

Oh, 34 is still quite young. You're not even halfway through your life yet - and still 6 years until middle age. I'm 30 next year and I'm still young, even if a 15 year old kid thinks I'm old.

My sister is 36 and she still tries to act like she's in her 20's. It's annoying.

Your sister is 36 and you're 19? Holy crap, lol.

I don't see why that's annoying. People seem to think that when you hit a certain age you should settle down and stop having fun. In 10 years, I don't want to become some uptight boring person with kids. Yuck. I'll be falling out of taxis at 4am when I'm 40.

Standing awkwardly in the female section pretending to look occupied because my mother/sister have ditched me to go into the changing rooms. I am finding less reason to shop with them now.

I'm gonna start just going when I buy something.

Don't put yourself down. I hate when people put themselves down, never understood what ugly was. Is it a though, dream, relaity, perception, belief, idea, or is it all imagined? Who determines ugly? Have some confidence, your outside reflects your inside. If you want some tips on more self esteem and confidence, and ways to help you feel better about yourself, here is what I would say.

1. Work out, muscles seem to give you a confidence boost, I know they did for me.
2. Think positive
3. Don't be ashamed of yourself
4. Don't constantly take pity on yourself and be more productive
5. Have a good group of friends even if it is only 1 friend to count on
6. Know that people who call you out on your perceived "physical flaws" are more than likely trying to feel better about themselves and are lacking in self esteem
7. Optimism, always be optimistic but also be real with yourself
8. Smile, be happy, laugh, don't let negativity ruin your positive vibe.

I know this advice may not sound much, sounds very cliche even, but it is the truth. Love yourself for who you are, and grow yourself to who you want to be.
