I'm anticipating my first grey hair. EEEK.

Yeah,where have all the years gone? :blank:

Last night I had a dream where I was 32. It was so weird and so sad I actually felt sorry for all 32-oldes in the world.

Yeah, growing up and wishing you could stay in the "fun" teen or preteen years is similar to waking up early in the morning for work and wanting to go back to sleep. It is disconcerting sometimes, for example I recently turned 17 and the days of five years ago are still fresh in my mind. back then, very little is expected of you and so you are allowed the joy of impressing your parents with your various skills and talents. But now, looking at pictures of myself from my sisters wedding I see almost a full-grown man and I'm viewing myself a lot differently. I'm still so accustomed to the imagination and discovery of yesterday, and I still feel like a child when it comes to learning new and interesting things,but it's different when you take that mindset and place it in the head of this full-grown "man" that just so happens to be you. These years are priceless.

I'm going off to college in a couple months and sometimes I'm almost hit by a mid-teen crisis...evaluating your numerous experiences as a teen and wondering if you will have any regrets after you get sucked into this window-less train of maturity. In recent months my growing age has definitely crossed my mind as feel like I'm just starting the anxious twilight that is the end of my days a child.

I have 2 years left to finish highschool and I just keep thinking what I'm gonna do with my life,college,relationships,being a grownup...

ditto i no just how u feel

Getting older...

Well, I'm not that afraid of getting older, even if the fact that time goes by so fast scares me a bit.

 

We can get older in a positive way. I don't see only the "I-get-older" side...

Exactly. Check out my sig.;)

I'm not scared to get older. I daresay I've time to buy a walking stick.:laugh3: You can see my pic on an other thread. I still feel young and ... sexy.

to get old, not afraid..... what i'm afriad of is that i get old and i couldn't had done the things i wanted to.. :(

 

although sometimes i miss my childhood, it was nice. :nice:

I am not afraid of getting older and aybe even change a bit...the only thing that I am scared about is maybe finding myself 50 years older without being satisfied with what I have done with my life:confused:...

I am not afraid of getting older, it's natural.

But what I am afraid of is that day, that moment in it, when I will realise that I have grown old, and that my time will inevitebly fade away soon.

 

It's all in that one moment, if you ask me.

 

And getting bald.

:laugh3:

I am afraid of getting bald.

Hell, I'm already there. I think back to when I was a teenager and thought people my age were "really" old. Well I don't feel that way now. Sure age sneaks up on you and you wonder where the years went. It's a piece of cake--don't worry about it. I'm having the time of my life. You're only as old as you feel. Just live your life to the fullest, don't let things pass you by, never look back and don't sweat the small stuff.

I think I embrace my future. I hope I get to use a cane when I'm older. Something about canes just looks so distinguished to me. I really want to have gray hair like my grandpa too. I don't really think I fear old age. I still wish I was older than I am now. I'm 23, so I should be wishing I was younger by now maybe. But I don't.

I'll give you a caning in a minute!!!! :uhoh: :lol:

hmm i think its the part of the opposite if we getting to the past " go back young "

sometimes i ever think that when i was a child (like 4 or 5 years) im feeling like i want to be grow up faster and getting older, and now im 14.... im feeling like the opposite, all the time always turns around and i just wanna go back to the past and fix my mistakes what i've done:( i prefer to be child and always play :(

so, its depending of our mood i think

:thinking:

 

I apologise, really bad mood.

 

I just knew a girl once who claimed she couldnt wait to get older and graceful, and she happened to be really pretentious and everyone just thought it was another one of her bullshit opinions.

 

I dont think you are, Eric.

I'm gonna be 18 in February, and it's actually awfully scary, but not for me, 'cause I have my personal super-method. I started to think about myself as a 18-year old person somewhere in June, so when I actually am 18, it's like, no big deal. And this happens every year, I don't even try to do that, I don't know. Somehow works. Otherwise I'd probably have a huge depression every year since 2002.

But didnt you just have a huge depression in June? hahaha

 

But its a good idea. Im going to start thinking of myself as 21 from right now (I mean it) even though Im dreading it.

 

...I dont feel so good :sick:

Hey you know what. Your birthday is in February, too, and you're gonna be 21, and I'm turning 18 in February. Which means that you're gonna come of age according to the American law and I'm gonna come of age according to the Russian law :uhoh:

 

Am I observant or what.
