Ahhh… To be young and free. To have a lot of excuses to make mistakes and to just be immature.  Spoken from a guy that is still in his late 20’s, it isn’t as reliable as when it comes from the mouth of a middle-aged man but just hear me out here.

CHANGE

I just turned 28 and I’m feeling really old. This is a yearly feeling especially on my birthday month but this year is different. It is different because I feel like there’s a shift already. I’m not part of the young crowd anymore. For years, I left like I was part of it but recently I am feeling like I’m not. There’s a divide already.

BALANCE

But I don’t want to feel old. I believe what you envision is what will actually happen and who wants to look and feel old, right? As for everything about life, having that balance is key. It doesn’t mean if you’re older, you can never feel young. I am optimistic and I admit that sometimes I do feel young.

LETTING GO

I’m not saying I getting old is bad. Getting older is golden. I mean, if you’re older, you are wiser and more experienced. If you reach that certain age, you know better how to traverse life’s problems. And getting old is an achievement. Not all people have reached the age that you are in now. So, congratulate yourself as I would to myself. 😉

Happy birthday self. I am happy that you have reached thus success and I hope you will have happiness and contentedness pretty soon.
