Are you at the age when you were born or at the age what you feel?

i am 23 years old but i feel sometimes younger or older than what i am and that help me to get on well with anyones at different ages.

You are only as old as you feel and that is not always consistent. Some days I feel like a teenager and others like an old man. Some memories seem like yesterday when they are decades ago and others seem decades ago when they are only a few years. But I think like a Zen Buddhist in that Yesterday is only a dream and tomorrow is a fiction. There is only right here, right now. Memories can't be trusted and thoughts of the future keep us from being present in the now, causing life to pass us by.

Believe me when I say that if you are 23, you have no idea what it feels like to be 55!
I remember the days when I thought 55 was getting old. Being 55 can be sore legs, back, wrists and on and on. Older than that can be more. As Cliff says - some days the future is bright and shiny and other days - filled with angst! I don't know that I would give anything to return to 23 but I do know that if I was there, I would certainly make some changes knowing what I know now.
I am three score plus two.
