I don&#8217;t really like reading my old posts as most of them are cringe-worthy. Typically, I would usually just eye ball the page until i get to a picture or and old youtube video that i really like.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, what caught my eye in this particular post is how i began the post by writing that &#8220;i have turned 17 and that i have another year before i can drive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The numbers just didnt add up. I&#8217;m pretty sure  i was older than 17 in 2008 AND if it was ANYTHING that i can do, it was DRIVE. Also,if i was 17, in 2008..shouldn&#8217;t i be younger than 30 in 2015? As i scrolled down the pages, it  finally made sense; I&#8217;ve always maintained that i was 16..and 2008 wasn&#8217;t an exception. lol.<\/p>\n<p>I was simply staying true to my age-defying skills.  Anyhow, what really struck me is the fact that i have been lying about my age online for more than a decade.
