Holy candles on your birthday cake Batman!
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?
I've always maintained that if I could be any age forever, I would be 10 years old. You're at the age where you have some independence, but a large part of your life is still play. By this point you have friends, still believe in magic, and use your imagination. Plus, you can still rely on your parents to make you all your meals and take care of you and in some circumstances still whine about the unfairness of life.
As I've gotten older, I realized that I think I'd rather be 18 years old forever. At that age, you have a driver's license so you'd be free to drive anywhere. Plus, you could still get away with not having a job without it being pathetic. You'd be an adult so you could make adult decisions, but any dumb ones could be attributed to the fact that you're still "just a teenager."
Maybe this is because one of the greatest times of my life was October through January of my senior year of high school. I was single, I had a great group of friends, and I was having a blast.
Regardless which age I choose - of which I'm leaning toward 18 - it won't be an age over 18. Over 18 means the real world, which I was not prepared for nor do I particularly like. When I was sheltered, I believed in things and thought things were possible.
So how old would I be if I didn't know I was 29?
Independent Yet Sheltered From The Bad Of The World Years Old.
