There's no need to sell out and start acting the way you're describing as old all the time. Just pull up to the adult table when the time comes, and go back to you comfort zone once you're done. It doesn't have to be one way or the other, but more of a game you have to play to exist in today's society which isn't getting any easier to pull off.

but that game is gonna keep being played by all if everyone plays that game, and the people that play that game are going to expect the same of every other adult. Maybe people should just loosen up.

Just wait until you hit 100. Soon after, your body doesn't give a fuck what your mind thinks. It'll do whatever it damn well pleases.
Can't get out of bed without a crane. Can't reach down to tie your shoes. Pain in random parts of your body. Can't walk upright without pulling a back muscle. Can't get up. Can't get down. Can't drive straight or keep a steady speed.
Food has no flavour. Food has too much flavour. It's too hot. It's too cold. Clothes don't fit right. Kids try to help me with groceries. No one asks for my ID. I get called "Sir". Women my age are too old to date (because they're dead).
I do get free coffee at Denny's, though.
25? Hell, I wish I was 75.
Push on - you'll sleep when you're dead! Push on!

Those who don't play the game are either what the op describes as being old all the time, or they're considered immature losers because they can never get it together enough to succeed in life. You either play the game, or be labeled old or a loser.

Yes, add enough Amanita phalloides to your diet and you'll definitely stop ageing. --- --- I've wanted to live forever for as long as I have held the concept of death.

This is exactly how I want to age. Start getting into all the crazy shit that I should've gotten into younger

if getting old means you believe you have life mapped out, you complain about everything, you think psychedelics are just another way to get high, you are atheist, you get sick and bitter, and love politics...
then why the hell would I want to get old?
i might just end my life when i turn 40.
You're only 24?!

I can't wait to get old. Hopefully having some extra cash, being that trippy old guy with a cane and a tin of RHoda Lacket in his pocket.
The health problems scare me, but I love getting older. It's trippy as fuck. I look in the mirrior and see my wrinkles getting a little deeper, extra facial hair, gray hair with my hairline pulling back and think. Holy shit I'm an adult! And I'm going to die someday.
It's crazy man, but I seriously thank God everyday for my life. It's been a crazy ass adventure and if I play my cards right I still got quite a few years ahead of me. I'm 26, I can't imagine what the next 26 years hold

We're the same age Bill.
I don't know man.. being a kid sucks. Being young in general is balls. All that ambition and no experience. At 24 I have more positive outlook on my life than ever before. I'm getting paid, getting laid brah. Life is good. The sun is shining. There's always bullshit but who gives a fuck, "I'm awake."
I can't wait to watch my kids grow and see who they become. Until I can play with them.
The moment is beautiful but I can't wait for the future. Who will I be? Where will I be? They say curiosity killed the cat, well I'm one cool cat and life's got me curious.

That is a nice spin on life.
I agree with you.
I also enjoy getting older. I become happier and I become smarter from experience -- like you said.
I love getting older.

Since you already know what you don't want to be maybe just strive not to be that
You're either going to get old or die, sitting around worrying about it while you're young seems pointless when you could be enjoying your youth. I personally am not worried about getting old at all, in fact I kind of see it as an accomplishment every year...like, cool...I made it another year, I just hope cougars are still a thing when I'm older so I can still get laid

Dude. I used to be like you. Not wanting to deal with real life and responsibilities and shit.
Turns out I was wrong. Your brain changes with time. I'm now a lot more responsible than I used to be. I like too. I have discovered and sudden interest for my lawn and garden. Turns out its becoming a passion of mine. My shit fell together this year like no other year before. I'm more mature, I know what I want, I'm happy with what I have and yes psychedelics are just another way to get high. There's no god to talked to when you're tripping, your just tripping...
If you're anything like me, within the next 4 or 5 years you will grow up and enjoy it.

This is what OP was trying to say, he doesn't wanna "fall in line"...as you seem to have.
As I get older I can kinda see my eccentric side slipping, but I'll do anything I can to hold onto it. I never want to settle for what people consider and expect "real life" to be...it's subjective. Purely.

I think Bill is just down on himself because of his sub-par DMT yields.
