How does someone grow older?
Is it age? Sometimes I feel it has to do with age… I mean the day I turned 20 I wasn't too excited… and definitely the day I turned 25 wasn't thrilling at all!
However I realized that age isn’t always the indication of growing older…
I mean… there are days when I’m 25 and I feel younger than days when I was 22… if you get what I mean!
And those days when I feel young... I ask myself, why can't I just be that person everyday!? And the answer, I really dunno... I end up being old and grumpy uncontrollably! Like I'm helpless towards this disgusting feeling!
I feel growing older is a state of mind and emotions… Growing older means you worry yourself too much, you push yourself harder than you should, you punish yourself and you judge yourself harsher…
The more we immerse ourselves into problems, the older we get…
The more we worry, the older we get…
When we can’t careless and the weight keeps getting heavier; the older we get…
Telling yourself that you can’t do this because you’re not young anymore is the first sign of growing older…You convince yourself that you’ve grown when you haven’t…
You see yourself as old… although no one else does!
I figured that you can actually be young and spontaneous till the last day of your life… not immature… but young!
Laugh...

Sing...
Dance...
Go out...
Travel...
Take things as they come...
Take things as they come...
Worry less...
Believe it’ll work out on its own...
Let go of whatever it is that holds you back and makes you feel that way...
Do something stupid every now and then...
Stop being serious all the time...
Don't beat up yourself for things you cannot change...
Stop carrying more than you can hold...
I don’t claim I do that… on the contrary I do the exact opposite… and it pisses me off!
Lately I always feel old… Older than I am… Older than I should be… Emotionally and mentally older… I feel older than I deserve to be... Older than I owe it myself...
I even end up looking and sounding older than I am... people place me into this boring category!
And that just… makes me feel even sadder and hence… older! – sigh!

on the same note, sometimes a person can go through a tough event/ experience and suddenly walks out so grown up because of the burden this person had to carry. for example, when an elder boy's father passes away, in a few months u look at him and he has grown up sooo fast and becomes much "older"
ReplyDeleteyups... that's true! but i meant the negative meaning of growing old... immersing yourself in unneeded worries! but your example is very valid... sometimes we're placed in a situation where we need to grow older...
