chickpea -> RE: Getting Old (5/6/2008 8:25:51 AM)

When I was 21 I thought I was an adult that knew everything, 30 was a freaking old adult, 40 was just over the hill ready to die, 50 was dead, and 60 why are you still here around. So here I am at three decades, and feeling exactly the same as when I was 20, except with more self confidence, more experience to do more in my life, jaded by some experiences, and still feeling I have my whole life ahead of me. Funny how a decade goes by faster than I expected.. I guess a decade to a 20 year old is half a life time, to a 30 year old is 30% of a lifetime, 40 year old is 25% of a lifetime, etc hence the seemingly faster a year flies by I suppose.
Not sure what the next decades will bring, but nice to hear people at all ages who are alive and kicking and not succumbing to the stereotypes...at least in attitude. I think doing looking, feeling, doing well for your age is all you can ask...granted lots of variations in different life experiences may speed up or slow down different developments in our lives. But living life to the fullest as best you can for the here and now for your age is best. It will prevent looking back and regretting, or looking back and envying those at past stages of your life. Also looking your best for you and for your age is a good aim, rather than comparing yourselves with those at different times of their lives. And if you look better than those, way younger than you then you go girl/guy!
