I’m not old.

Hey guys! 
Sorry I didn’t get this post up yesterday. I know you all were super worried that something terrible might have happened to me! Okay, okay..it was my mom who inquired about my missing Monday post. Anywho..
Why do people have such a terrible fear of getting older? Almost weekly I come across a post on some social media site about how someone has a birthday and they are getting soooo old. Usually these are 22-year-olds and I want to kick them. I just turned 26 and they have no right to complain.

I would be lying if I said I haven’t done this. Just a few weeks ago I spent the night with my best friend from high school. She’s married, has a child and she’s working her way through dental hygiene school. After a night of drinks we agreed that the feeling we both had was a direct result of our age. The “we just can’t hang like we use to” phenomenon was in full effect.
Obviously we are getting older. But I don’t necessarily find that to be a bad thing. When I look back on my life and compare where I was to where I am now, one thing is certain: the years just keep getting better.

Maybe someday when I’m nearing 40 I can look back on this post and remind myself that everything is going to be alright and repeat that cheesy saying, “the best is yet to come.”

p/s I’m working on redesigning my site, bear with me! I’m teaching myself some stuff as I go (hilarious, I know) and other things I am enlisting some help. So for now, you get to see the changes happening in real-time.

  1. Yes, your mother was waiting impatiently for the weekly update. 😉 I like to read what you are thinking about, it’s always interesting. And, as for your “getting old”, you are right, you aren’t there. I will hit 47, in three months and eight days, and I don’t feel old (most days. I would however like it to slow its pace just a tad.

  3. LOL, I was just excited it was Monday for once! It makes the day a good one to get to read this, so I got over anxious. 😉
