Those were the days. When we were the young ones, the cool ones. When the world was our oyster. When everything and anything seems possible and when every new experience fills us with wonder (parang Oreo commercial lang :)). Alas, such days are long gone for me. Nowadays, it seems as though nothing could excite me. In the words of BB King, "The thrill is gone". Maybe Calvin was right. Becoming an adult is probably the dumbest thing you could ever do. I wanna be like Peter Pan who never grows old. I wish the Fountain of Youth were true so that I could drink from its restorative waters.
But these are all pipe dreams. In reality, there's nothing you can do about growing old. Time stops for no one and all you can do is to suck it up and be thankful that you're still here on earth. "Don't complain about growing old, many, many people don't have that privilege. Try your best to age gracefully. And who says you stop dreaming when you grow old. As C.S. Lewis puts it, "You are never to old to set another goal or to dream a new dream". Just be cool about growing old. When young people laugh at you and think that you're no longer cool, don't get offended. Just think "you'll grow old too". Tatanda rin kayo. :)
