A word about age...

Apr 26, 2006 13:15

so yesterday was my birthday, I'm 26 now, A step closer to thirty. The 20's are more than halfway over. And I've realized that the fear of aging is really the fear of getting weaker or saggier, or feeling like you don't belong where you think you do. So far, i've never felt truly at home with any one social group in my whole life, so that fear is out the window. I know plenty of "old dudes" who seem to be living it up just as much as I do, if not moreso, and I look foward to becoming one of those soon. As far as "feeling old", I look and feel better than I did when I was 18, 19, or 20! I've got the pics and memories to prove that.

The secret is HEALTH people. If you survive on crap, you WILL age faster. I drink and smoke like a fuckin fiend!, but I still have more energy and true happiness in me than all the cake-eating bastards I know. Food effects you WAY more than air polution, alcohol or any other thing we're told to fear. We're not designed to be in despair. No animal is. Stick a goddam vegetable in your mouth sometime, it pays off loads!

Age dosen't mean shit!. I know people decades older than me who have more energy than they know what to do with, And I know people in my age group who can't get off the fuckin couch they're so miserable. Diet is the only difference I've noticed. GIVE A SHIT about yourself and you will stay young and happy.

I'm ranting I know but this stuff pisses me off sometimes.
