I have a simpler opinion : information sharing is extremely easy and our understanding of adults has deepened because of it.

I get why older people keep telling that "60 years old isn't that old". Unless we have a life changing event, we are mostly the same throughout our life and things we enjoy now, we will probably enjoy in 15 years.

I'm turning 39 this year and my hobbies and personality closely ressemble what they were when I was 15-20 years old.

So I still feel young when I am me, but I definitely have more responsibilities now and they dictate the priorities in my life.

When comes a moment where I am free of these responsibilities, I feel a lot younger. And when responsibilities come knocking, I feel older.
