This is my younger days, i wish i could go back to those days.
Sometimes when i wake up and look at the mirror i realize I'm getting older and i remember so many memories of things we love doing and those memories were awesome and sometimes i wish i could still do them all over again. These are some of the things and activities that makes me realize that I'm not getting younger.
1. The songs, movie and video we grew up with are now regarded as classics.
I recall those days when we were sent home for failing to pay our school fees, and all we did was to go to friends house and we listen to different songs. However, these are now vintage songs that we used to enjoy, and they serve to remind us of our youth while also informing us that we are becoming older.
The movie part, I remember movies like Ben 10, avatar, Rambo, legend of the seekers, jumong, jet LI and Jackie Chan movie collection and so on. they were part of the movies we grew up with and I still have the same joy I had when I was a kid while watching it and when I come across any movie I once watched as a kid, I regard it as a classic and through this I know I'm getting older.
The music, we always have favorite music while growing up which pops in our mind even those days we don't feel like vibing to it and when I come across such movies now, I still listen to them as if it was my first time doing so.
2. when birthday is asked while completing a form online and you realize how long you have to scroll down to be able to get your birth year
Those who fill out paperwork while registering online will understand this. the older you are, the longer you will be able to obtain your birth year while filling your form online. This occurred to me one day while trying to fill out an internet form, and I noticed I had scrolled through 23 years, and I realized I wasn't getting any younger, and I needed to do better with my life. You all know that guilt when you realize your age and you know you're not doing great or doing well to that point you want in life.
3. Starting to make some life changing decisions
When you actually realise you're getting a bit older and you're lonely and bored, and everything you do can or will mostly actually impact you alone, you'll begin to make some personal choices for yourself, which may be because you want a better change for yourself, or it may be because you'll have to restrict yourself from some things you enjoy doing, such as going to night clubs or going to a party that will make you wasted out through drinking alcohol.
As you grow older you will realize that some things are not necessary and you need to stop it because it has no good effects on your life. There are some things that shouldn't be part of our life again. We can start making things right from now like
our health will become our concern because if we don't take of it, no one will since we are adults now.
4. Time speeding up
Everything appears to be moving faster, and 24 hours appears to be 12 hours since the older we get, the more work we take on, and time for sleep appears to be limited because we are stressed throughout the day. It may appear that we never have time for ourselves or the opportunity to form relationships, but the truth is that we are all quite busy, and the little time we do have between us is spent relaxing.
5. Doing things we need not because we love them
As we grow older, we begin to focus on doing things we need rather than things we enjoy since those are the things that are most likely to maintain our survival on this planet, and we may develop a fondness for them over time. We should be able to avoid such life because it will be entirely boring. Let's do what we love and we would enjoy life better and life would have more meaning than before.
FINAL THOUGHT
There are lot of things we gradually do as we get older and sometimes we don't have control over it because it's meant to occur since it's a law of certainty we all abide in, some of which are;
But at the end, it is what we have done in the past tahy would define the kind of life we would be living and also the kind of person we are.
