HOW IT WORKS: You tell me your age, I give you a lower age, you compare.
I got 12 from ukwons
>> At 12 (2007):
I lived in: a decent size town in the Central Valley in California. At this point I'd been living here for about seven years, longer than I had lived in my first house, and was definitely content.
I drove: nothing. Too young to legally drive cars, and I'm pretty sure by this time I even stopped really riding my bike.
I was in a relationship with: No romantic relationships. I did, however, have a big change in friends halfway through the year, once I started middle school. I ended up with no classes with any of my old friends, so I wound up making a couple new best friends and losing my old ones. Also, at this point I started crushing on the guy I would end up liking for the greater part of the next three years.
I feared: heights. My anxiety over having to give presentations in class and that sort of thing didn't start until the next year, so I was relatively anxiety/fear free. I hated heights, though I only ever had to deal with that when I went up to the second story of the mall.
I worked at: no official job because I was too young. The only "work" I did was chores around the house and homework.
I wanted to be: someone people liked. Which I actually got, since I made enough new friends and they all liked me. I never felt second best or left out, even though most of them had already knew each other for a few years.
>> Now at 18 (2013):
I live in: the same state, town, and house as I did before. Though hopefully soon (as in within the next year) I'll be getting a bigger room once we do some remodeling.
I drive: my parents' vehicles. I haven't even started saving money for my own car.
I am in a relationship with: No one! Romantically, at least. And no prospective romances budding on the horizon either. Guess I'll just have to see what'll happen when I get to college. I have a completely different set of friends than I did when I was 12 (ever since the summer after freshman year). I have two awesome best friends I met just before and during sophomore year, plus another really good friend whose basically a best friend (but not to the same level as my best best friends), and a few other friends.
I fear: having to make presentations. Actually, my social anxiety and anxiety involving anything with other people is pretty bad. Unless I'm absolutely comfortable with everyone, I get really badly nervous over presenting things. I had gotten over it freshman year, but this year it's gotten bad again.
I work at: Still no job, just homework and chores and the like.
I want to be: happy. Successful. Not afraid of the future and actually motivated to do something with my life.
