Think you're too old to start something new? Watch this.

I'm only 27, but sometimes that feels too old to try new things. I'm not sure if it's from Facebook's constant reminder of everyone else's life pace, or my own preconceived idea of what it means to be an adult, but I have this notion that by the time I'm 30 I should really have all my shit together.

By 30 I should have a really successful career, have a child (or at the very least have one on the way) and I definitely shouldn't be thinking about any major changes. As if by 30 the window of opportunity locks shut and wherever you are, there you are. Forever.

This quick video is a great reminder that all of those ideas that seem to be ingrained in my head are BS. Prepare to feel inspired!
