The Pleasure of Not Appearing So Young

People told me I am beyond my age . In the past recent 2 years I have always been assumed as a grown up because of having a good physique and maturity . Although it's is has nothing to do with my age but in the beginning it was really annoying and making me anxious. I wasn't self aware and believe whatever others tell me . They told me something like "at the age of 17 you became a 34 year old" or "you look doubled of your age " hearing this from my people was terrifying. These statements depressed me and forced me to think "what's wrong with me?" , "am I really overaged?"

(Actually these are one of those questions which provoke me for self realisation and help me becoming a better person).

But now I believe that there's nothing wrong to be like this, infact it's an advantage . I receive huge respect from everyone even from elders and also my knowledge and wisdom never let's me down leverage this advantage. My views, mindset , personality , ways of doing things, and other skills makes me stand apart and gives me a unique identity as a competent person . Now I enjoy the pleasure of not appearing so young and it's a blessing for me, I know there's a good reason for me being like this , God always have a better plan and I firmly believe him.

 But in my heart I am still an adolescent who just acts as an adult.
