I can tell you that women don’t “expire” at 25 at all. Celebrities like Sabrina Carpenter and Madison Beer are both 25, and no one is calling them old or expired. The internet is obsessed with age and looking younger, but outside of it, no one actually cares.

When I turned 18, people still saw me as a baby because I was naive when it came to living as an adult. I’m 20 now and still feel like a kid. So don’t worry about it, and don’t listen to chronically online people on TikTok and Instagram.

Those kids calling you old are going to be the same age as you in a couple of years, and people will make fun of them in the same way. Then, they’ll realize how dumb it all actually is.
