When I started using dating apps I found 24 year olds too old. I still have that impression memorized but it's wild.

Welp, I don't know when from the memory is, but I do vividly remember thinking about how damn old those 14/15 year old 9th graders are. Could be 1st grade.

Basically as if the life ended at 20, and they were soon to retire.

Oh yeah. There were these 2 older neighbours 2 grades above me in primary school who once protected me from bullying in school. They were practically adults in my head, but actually I was 6-7 and they were 8-9.

I remember fearing high school kids. I wasn't even sure how old they were, just that high school was a jungle and any kid who went to high school was dangerous.

Somehow it really ended...

Used to be a rule of thumb that the lower limit for dating was half your age + 7. Dunno if that's still a thing.
