I started taking up French a couple of weeks ago.
And i just noticed, just like Spanish, the method for expressing age in French is to say “how many years you’ve had”. (e.g., Elle a vingt-huit ans – she has 28 years.) Unlike English where you simply say “I am…” or “He is…”
No wonder the English-speaking world is so messed up.
You are definitely not your age, among other things, really. 
You are far more than any of that…
