At what point in your life are you no longer young? 30.. 40.. 50.. 60.. 70+?? Is there an age? What are the signs? It’s a difficult prospect to consider, especially when you are “young”; because you can jump over a fence, pull an all-nighter or spend irresponsibly. But do these things make us “young”?
In our early adolescence I guess we fear limitation. Limitation physically, mentally and spiritually. We don’t want to be pinned down by life, in the sense that we can’t laugh at a rude joke or flirt or wake up when we feel like it or dream.
I think I can speak for most people in saying that, when we are developing/growing, we are constantly dreaming. But what happens when our dream comes true? Do we either:
- Get another dream,
- Live our dream,
- or Stop dreaming?
It’s hard to consider, but does achieving our dream mean we’re old? I don’t think it does. I think youth, is mental. For this reason, we can understand the wisdom of Pablo Picasso.
I believe. That our mental power affects how young we remain. Consider that some elderly individuals over the age of 80 (I’m not saying 80 year olds are “Old”, I’m merely dismissing the idea that age should be linked to youth). These people still run marathons, participate successfully in the stock market, run a small business, innovate and create as well as achieve a fitness above some teens. Do they feel “old”? I don’t think they do. They stay active and “Young” and constantly live.
My plan. My plan is to stay young forever, to the point where my beauty remains for eternity and death becomes obsolete (I have a lot of faith in future technology). I don’t want to do one degree, one job, retire and die in my sleep. I wanna have many jobs, do two degree’s, have infinite relationships (not lovers necessarily) and homes (Travel). I’m gonna stay active, constantly, mentally and physically. I’m gonna live.
I plan to appreciate every Sunrise.
