Think of all the extra daylight you'll have, though (hopefully you like that)!
, I hope I will and will try to report as much as possible here
Well...I am 28 today. Another year here, many posts later, many posts too long, too little time to see all of figure skating
Here goes a virtual toast shared with all of You, to this upcoming year being as good or even better!

You may laugh at me, seeing my age, but after passing 20 I always thought that I am old already - I was always quite a serious person, with 'old soul' as they say, with that narrow, miserable attitude towards basically everything, especially my life.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NoNameFace!!! 
You know, I was always curious about what age you were. Because there were things you wrote that made me think you were around the same age as me, but then there were other things you wrote that made me think you were older.
But after reading this post, everything makes sense now.
A funny story you may enjoy. A few months ago, the first girl I fell for came back into my life. She had left Northern Ireland to go to university in Scotland, and ended up living there for 10 years. But, she has now moved back home permanently.
Anyway, we were chatting away, and then this young family walked past us. And I commented that seeing people I went to school with getting married and having children was making me feel old. And she chastised me, saying that "we are still young!"
I should add at this point that this girl is 4 years younger than me. And because we were so young when we met (I was 10 and she was 6), I still tend to think of her as being very young. Like, 4 years is a lot when you are still at primary school.
So, reading your comment gave me a giggle. Because this girl is 7 weeks older than you!
I am like you in that I am quite serious. But, although I think old, I don't think of myself as being old. So, I am finding it hard to get my head around somebody still in their 20's thinking they are old.
YOU ARE YOUNG, GIRL!!! Enjoy it!

, thanks a lot, CaroLiza_fan, and the story made me smile indeed - both about situation You both faced and the comment.Well...I am 28 today. Another year here, many posts later, many posts too long, too little time to see all of figure skating
Thank You all for all the laughs and more sober, serious moments. This place really became 'my' kind of place where I don't feel like weirdo who can talk about FS for hours. I embraced myself and this particular interest more in this past year, I learned a lot from You, discovered new things and perspectives, not even connected directly to figure skating. I learnt that it is good to have dreams, plans, being passionate and engaged about something in my life - and with right approach, it is all reachable. In a week, I hope to be on a plane to Milan and enjoy every single skater I'll see, regardless of ranking and country. I think that it's partly due to this place and people so enthusiastic about the discipline I was motivated enough to let it happen.

Believe or not, getting deeper into figure skating, finding that interest, following skaters, discipline changed me a bit regarding seeing myself through my age - it added more colour, more excitement, just more of something to look forward to. And it helped me to get more open to other people, having more positive outlook on life, not being constantly afraid.
