Writer Anne Lamott said in her TED Talk that while we have a biological age, we all are ageless inside.
I would further argue that regardless of when you were born, you are all the ages simultaneously.
- You’re a child (the devil’s side): You want all the nice things for yourself — easy, fast, right away!
- You’re a child (the angel’s side): You daydream, share without ulterior motives, and laugh with pure joy.
- You’re a teenager: You rebel, break the rules, and say, “screw it!”
- You’re an adult: You pay bills, work at your job, and do “responsible” things.
- You’re a senior: You lose sleep, lament an aching body, and worry about what tomorrow will bring.
