Growing Old

Your life was a mess and then boom, suddenly you realize it’s a super mess. Congrats! You’ve grown old. The symptoms of growing old is having a worst feeling about it. Sitting around bunch of enthusiastic kids, makes you feel like run away and find a quiet place and sleep.

Growing old doesn’t necessarily means the senior citizens. It’s the same feeling but the difference is your age lies between 23-25. The other symptoms are always craving for love over friendship.

So, the question is why do we feel so old? Yes, the first reason being the maturity lessons from our parent. Second being the environment. We automatically become quiet. Okay, yes It’s part of the nature to grow old but it isn’t to feel that old.

Why loose the child within you. Don’t ever let the child die within you. Yes, it’s just that the child within you will have some major responsibilities and it will have to observe places where it can behave like a child. But there’s that one person or group of persons (perhaps of same age) where you don’t feel old, where you find yourself comfortable behaving in any way you want. Those people or that person won’t judge you. You both know that there is someone with whom you’ll grow old but never feel old.

And, talking about craving for love. This is the hardest part of growing old(or being an adult). Well, love everybody who matters to you. It’s not always important to find someone of opposite gender. Find someone with whom you’re comfortable while you walk and talk. Never hunt for love, let the love hunt you down.

Behave like an adult, but act like a child. Let the child unleash within you.

Happy Adulting/Growing old!
