I haven't and would never lie about my age to impress or influence anyone.
I personally know a lot of people who lied about their ages for different reasons. Some lied to appear elderly amongst their peers, some lied so that they would be regarded and respected by their mates, some lied so that they would not be bullied, and some lied so that they would enjoy certain privileges that come with being the senior, just to mention a few.
Personally, I have always been grateful for my current age. Are there certain things I hoped to have achieved by a certain age that I have grown past? Of course, yes, but through it all, I have learned to be thankful for what I have, where I am, who I am, and the things I have been able to accomplish, among other things. There are times I look back at my life in retrospect, and I cannot help but be thankful for the journey thus far.
Though I am in my thirties and thankful for the things I have achieved thus far, I am not blinded to the fact that I still have unchecked items on my to-do list, and rather than bask in the euphoria of past glory, I lace my boots, roll my sleeves, and get to work.
I get to work because I know I have tasks and targets I have scheduled for this stage of my life, and if I must clear my backlogs of unfulfilled dreams, in addition to current targets, then I have to work double. I must not only talk the talk, but I must be ready to work the work.
Rather than see my age as a curse or an unpleasant burden to get away from and move on with, I see it as a blessing, and this conditions and challenges my mind to see the good in every situation.
I love my age, and I do not subscribe to the wave of changing my age, either upward to appear older and matured or downward to appear young.
No matter in what direction I review my age, I cannot be older or younger than my actual age, and the earlier I accept myself for how old I am and take the necessary steps towards achieving my goals and aspirations, I would not be able to tick off the tasks and targets on my to-do list.
THANK YOU FOR READING TO THE END 🤗
Accepting yourself is the best decision you've made

Age actually is just a number. You are young and beautiful as long as you believe that. Self acceptance is so powerful!
