> but it definitely not helpful to always say “I’m too old for this”
While I largely agree with this statement, I've noticed that – even though I'm in my thirties and I don't feel old at all – I still catch myself saying "I'm too old for XYZ" occasionally, half jokingly, but also half seriously. I mean, sometimes it's not about age per se (as in: the number) but about the fact that you've "been there, done that". How do you maintain your excitement for something that you've done a bazillion times?
