Oh wow! It feels amazing to be 18, I can finally do all the things I wanna do like, party like a rockstar, dunk like an all-star and shag like a porn-star. Now I can't wait to turn 21! Then again, do I really want to be 21 again? Or 18 again? Pffft!
After much deliberation, I am so much happier at my current age. I wouldn't trade anything for the knowledge and experience I've gained. It's true when they said that, 'Youth is wasted on the young'. The boy always laments about how he wishes he had the knowledge and spending power he has now when he was eighteen. I always laugh at him because I bask in the security I have now and I savour every moment of it.
I'm not as neurotic as I used to be, I stopped having nightmares about being late for school and exams, I've lost all my puppy fat (YEAH RIGHT, that's me dreaming!) and most of all I'm finally comfortable in my own skin. Now my concerns are my career, my fitness levels and most of all my beautiful family. Some individuals (no names here) only want to be 18 or 21 again just so they can escape reality and responsibility. In a sense, people like that are selfish. Like a wise cake once said: You don't give a shit about anyone but yourself. They want to live it up, party hard, serial date, break hearts and fall in and out of love and come out relatively unscathed. Don't envy people who live like that, especially when you're way past 21! You've had your chance, now live in the moment otherwise you might was 40 or 50 years of your life filled with envy.
It's always nice to look to the past to remember how hard you partied and the crazy things you did but there's no time like the present. Don't get lost reminiscing and forget to live your present to the fullest. I've forgotten what I was like at 18 and at 21, I've even forgotten what I did for fun. Maybe because I like the current Me so much more, except I want to look this age forever. Please?
Hello Current Me, you rock! Hell, you are made of... of AWESOME! JY
