If I'm too old for doing something.. What can I also say ? I want something related to "phase". I've moved beyond that phase...???? I've already passed this phase??

Hey Robson, you could say, "I've grown out of that." For example, someone asks you, "Do you still go to concerts regularly?" You could answer, "I used to when I was a university student, but I've grown out of that."

"Out of that phase" is the only one I can think of apart from "I have passed that phase in my life" which you already have.

I used to drive every day to work and drive home in the evening. Every single day, back and forth. How could I have done that? Pinch me, please, I must be dreaming. I can hardly believe that I actually lived such a life. Surely, that was another person and someone has planted false memories into my brain using some modern technology!
