Ten things that will tell you that you are getting older
For many of us, age is not really something to fear. I am not afraid of getting old, which is perhaps why I still managed to keep a childlike countenance around me. The secret to eternal youth is not in the pills or the surgical procedures that we have to go through to keep our physical appearances young; rather, it is in the attitude that we take in facing life. A positive and tolerant attitude will definitely keep the wrinkles away from our faces. Now, for those who are too busy with their physical youth, it is not strange to make age a major concern, but for those who could care less about the wrinkles on their faces, life is sweet. We never get old! Just the same, here are ten things that will most likely tell you that you have grown in years and wisdom.
1. When loud music annoys you. You get really cranky when somebody turns up the volume; the reason – not really because you hate to listen to music, but because you want to have some peace and quiet, and you want others to enjoy it too.
2. When you tell people that you are two years younger than your actual age because you know that most of the people you talk to are either way too young for you or way too conscious about growing old.
3. When you traded your Victoria Secret or Bath and Body Works for scents like Old Spice, White Diamonds, and the like and you begin to want to smell like a bunch of flowers at someone's wake.
4. When you would rather wait until you get home to take a pee on a gimmick night and find out that you can't actually do that anymore so you end up cueing at the toilet with your eyes on the floor.
5. When you would rather have a cup of tea instead of a cup of coffee on a late post-gimmick drop off because even without the coffee you can't seem to sleep early anymore, or if you could, you tend to wake up in the wee hours of the morning for a glass of water.
6. When you have a bunch of pills to take in the morning instead of the usual Vitamin C or Vitamin E.
7. When you find out that your tongue has now become more tolerant of foods that you did not usually like. For instance, you used to hate 'amargoso' then all of a sudden you develop a weird craving for this hell of a vegetable.
8. When you feel your arteries clogging up when you binge on a small piece of lasagna. You feel like you're taking in rat poison.
9. When your mother or father sleeps in the afternoon and you envy them so much that you end up becoming cranky at the office because you missed your afternoon nap.
10. When you tell your friends that you already have everything you need in your life and you could care less if you get what you want or not.
So, are you old and wise already friend?
Be rational; be insane…every once in a while! TTFN!
