i turn 28 in July and i don't know why but i'm freaking the out. 27 was a bit sobering but this upcoming one is making me feel soooo ing...done.
i guess for some reason i just assumed the partying, bar hopping and the constant quest to get laid would continue indefinitely :haha:
now with each passing weekend i can't help but feel reminded that you know what, someday, probably soon, it'll end. i'll be too damn tired, feel too damn old and creepy to hit on the 21 yr olds and thats gonna suck.
worst of all is the regrets. we all have our own i know but it's just...i expected alot more from my social life for my 20s than what actually materialized, and it feels like it could've been so much better in so many ways. !!
i hardly have any true solid friends. in LA even in my early 20s most of my buddies were in their 30s (don't ask why it just worked out that way) and after moving to NYC i lost touch with almost all of them. come to think of it, perhaps they were never really true friends anyway, or we somehow would've stayed in touch, right? even in NYC i only have 1 - 2 close friends, after 1.5 yrs of living there, but i can't help but question the strength of those friendships often...
life's too long, and why are we only young for such a small percentage of that span? to think that the average lifespan these days is 70 or so...and most of that time is spent being an old person :mad: |

yeah. Senility is my only true fear. Not even death scares me.
I'm still young and don't regret much, but , if I had my time over I would have used my early years out of school a hell of a lot better. |

| I'm 41. Everything is horrible, now. Everything. You youngins don't know how good you have it. Every day, I pray for God to take me. I can't remember . Every day, I pray for God to take my life. You young people don't know how horrible everything is, now that I'm 41. My memory is . Everything is horrible, now. I never get laid. |

Being an old person is not so bad. That is what I hear from old people, anyway. :D
Most people start to find interest in stuff other than just partying and sex before they hit 30. Those who don't end up looking pathetic pretty fast. |

yeah, it's something that's coming to me now. i've had other interests and god knows i have a humongous backlog of books i've been wanting to read forever and a day, but all of that has always taken a back seat to the partying and chasing. time to start devoting more time to other pursuits :) |

i'm 28 and i just started getting gray hair within the past 5 or so months. not a fan.
i personally don't like to tthink about getting old, cause it's just too depressing. instead i just focus on short term stuff. |

Don't forget having to a few viagras just to rub one out to old man/teen girl porn.
When I was in my late 20's I feared getting old as well. I heard some older cousins & friends tell me not to worry because my 30's will be better than my 20's as long as I didn't get married & I played my cards right financially. I found that hard to believe since my 20's rocked pretty hard. I thought they were all full of but as it turns out they were right. Now im in my early 30's & while I don't go out 6 nights a week like before, I do still party 3-4 times a month. Thing is you still have to look & feel young. Don't lose your hair & try & stay in shape. |

the only thing that happens at 30 that sucks is that your metabolism slows down. Everything else is hand down better, with more money comes more freedom.
Guess what? Those clueless 21 year old skanks will you more at 30 then they would at 21. |
