When I grow up.

When I was a kid I couldn't wait to grow up and do all those things adults do. That meant, whatever I wanted. I didn't think about bills and jobs etc., just the "fun" stuff. Now that I am "grown up" I found it wasn't quite that simple. Sure I can do what I want, after the bills are paid, after I work my job and after I have taken care of the children........

There are certainly perks to being an adult, I can plan a trip, eat what I want for dinner and go to bed when I want.  Sounds fun right?

What's my point  you might wonder? Basically it isn't all that simple. Today the thought occurred to me, when am I too old to do certain things? Basically the opposite of when I was a child.

  • Do I get too old to stay a blond?
  • Can I still enjoy rock concerts [yes but will I get strange looks from the youngsters?]
  • Will the younger generation still want to hang out with me?
  • Can I still be entertained by gadgets and the newest phone?
  • Will celebrity crushes go away? Certainly they aren't the same as when I was younger but will I still see the adorable....
  • Spontaneity is a must, will it go away when the knees no longer cooperate?

I am sure there are more......what have you got?

You can always do all those things. Being young is a state of mind!

As long as I remain old enough to buy a bottle of Flintstones vitamins and eat as many as I want any time I want, I'm cool with whatever else is part of the ride.

the "leave a comment" button hided from me :P

anyway: you are never to old to do the things you like … so if you love to be blond be so …
rock concerts … maybe the younger people should work on their attitude?
spontaneity… will change a bit, but will remain!

i am sure we have a picture that tells us how to go old … but it is the picture we have inherited by our ancestors and it was a different one at their time … so we are going to start to paint a new picture!

I was seriously thinking today - when will I be too old to be able to drive a cool car - you know, will I be one of those people that the younger folks scoff at - when I'm riding around in my badass sports car :D

This is very thought-provoking.
