    Purely in a maturity and 'growing up' way, I finally feel old. Turn 23 in an hour or so.... Today it struck me how some younger people would now class me as 'old' and just how old I also feel, my body feels old now. My mind feels old, in generally I feel this is the first time I can truly say I am an independent adult, and this both excites and saddens me. Everything is real now, paying rent, shopping, doing the laundry, working full time, I'm living it, moving out of my parents in the summer was the major step, but having a birthday in my own place for the first ttime will be one of the last steps, along with Christmas day.

    My question to you guys is, at what age did you feel you had fully matured, or are you still waiting for that day? What was it that made you think 'yes, I am fully grown up'?

    Not sure I have ever grown up. Whenever I see groups of youngsters out I seriously believe the girls all fancy me.
    @PL54 when you use the word 'youngsters', you are old

    If you remember your "20's" you didn't live them right.

    I know that the point that Chris Powell retired as a player was a milestone - the first time there was nobody in the first team squad older than me...

    Absolutely this. When the manager's younger than you are you are definitely entering a new era in your life.

    Oh to be 23 again.

    Your first divorce is always a seminal moment in growing up. Put it off as long as you can.

    Being childish keeps you young.

    Growing old is compulsory, growing up isn't.

    A younger friend asked me last year if I had started to "feel old" - I was approaching my 48th birthday at the time - I said yes, this year. Random pains, stiff joints and eyesight going downhill... about six weeks later I had a heart attack. I have always lived hard, smoked and drank too much, stayed out late got up early - the only thing that was relatively healthy was my diet, although I ate too much chocolate. A year on I have packed in the fags, still drink too much and hardly eat any chocolate - I also exercise more. Three inches wider round the waist though, but still enjoying life...
