I hit a major age-crisis round about the age of 29/30. I was obsessed with age for about 4 years. I'd watch old programmes on TV and try to imagine what I was doing when they first aired. Sometimes the sense of loss, of being dislocated from 'home' was quite profound. I also had to know the ages of actors. Whenever a cool female character was in a programme, I needed to know how old she was. If she was younger than me, I felt cut off from her, older than me and I'd feel a sense of relief. Bizarre huh?

Thankfully, I got over that lol. I am quite comfortable with my age and where I am at. Most of the time. Except when depression hits. Hell, don't we all carry our shadows with us?
