My aunt asked this same question to the women in my family after a holiday dinner in 1989. Everyone went around the room and answered with ages younger than their actual ones. When it was my turn, I said, "36." This got a laugh because I was 18. At 51, 36 still makes sense. I feel responsible, contributory and sassy enough that people listen when I speak. I don't feel old because I've never felt particularly young.

I feel 22 while I am 34. I am unmarried, I recently quit my well paying job,, moved back with my parents and I am trying to figure out 'What next?' with my life. I have been a late bloomer with respect to a lot of things. It was when I turned 29 that I got my first job after clearing a really difficult 8 years long course. Most of my twenties involved studying. I am enjoying my thirties. Hence I feel 22.
