72 and still fresh

Posted 11-08-2011 at 03:39 AM by T-nex

x_x So I was thinking lately... it's quite interesting that my grandma is 72 and still quite fresh and happy. You hear about people dying at age 60 or early 70. But my grandma still walks around. She dances at parties. She laughs and is full of life. She even has a boyfriend now, which is super cute(grandpa died some years ago from cancer).
Everyone always gets shocked when they learn that she's 72. They always guess around 60 years old.
I dunno... I guess I'm grateful. To me it seems like she'll never die. She's almost as new as I found her. What I mean is she hasn't changed much since I first remember her.
I know we all die at some point though. I wonder if I'll be sad.
I'm always afraid I don't mourn enough for things I should. I didn't really mourn when both my granddads died.
I'm not exactly sure why I'm thinking of this now.
Old age kind of scares me. I don't really wanna become old. I feel like I'm aging too quickly for my psyche. I still wanna play around, wear cute shit rather than sophisticated. I still like to annoy the shit out of people and be a little irl troll. I still do things that soon-to-be 23 year olds shouldn't.
27 seems like a perfect age to die. But I'm probly just stupid.
In the end I'll be fine I guess. I'll just be doing what I always did. Draw and play computer games. At age 70. Yea.

	So what do you do that soon-to-be 23 year olds shouldn't?

	You don't have to change because society wants you to maaan. Also, why do all the 20-25 year olds I know moan about getting old. That's not old, being fifty is old, you have a looooong way to go yet Nexy. Don't mope about the distant future.

	I wonder if getting old sucks sometimes. I don't think it's that bad though, when I do think about it.

I partly agree with this, but mostly not because until you get to that age you will not understand it. I can understand that around those ages you are expected to have reached maturity, and in a sense leave your childhood years behind.

Nico, you should stay as you are, don't stop playing around. If that part of your personality allows you to have fun then don't feel you have to age or mature. Live your life having as much fun as possible, and you will become more mature naturally. Old age scares me too, but as long as you don't let it get to you and you enjoy yourself as much as your grandmother, then age does not matter.

	Funny how you don't ask "How young are you?". Or "I'm 23 years young." Being old is always implied no matter what age you are.

	Because we get older, not younger.

my grandmother is in her 80's and still wanders around and swears like a trooper. she even has me in fits of laughter at times. i have no idea what i'll be like when one of my grandparents dies, because i love and get on with them so much. honestly, i visit them almost everyday, just to chat with them and learn a bit of history. it will be a fucking sad day when one of them goes, i don't like to think about it to be honest.

	I have a terrible fear of growing old too. But to be honest, I'm with STM. I don't want to change just because society says I should. I want to live life to the fullest and I should never have to give up my hobbies and the things I love because of my age.

Because those are the years wear obligations and responsibilities are being thrown at you left and right and at times it can seem like care free days are gone forever. Or maybe that's just me.

Anyways if I live to be that old, I will most certainly abuse society's tolerance of older people to be as big of a jackass as I can without repercussions.

I guess that's true.
I feel I can not be myself anymore, cos in order to be so, I have to look in a certain way, have a certain age and stuff like that.

People my age are expected to calm down, start maturing, get a job, go to bars and drink, get interested in marriage and kids(or maybe that comes later at around 25-28)...

But I feel I'm at the critical point where I have to change, because in a year or two, I'll simply be too old for my child-like behavior.

Sometimes I wonder if there's something wrong with me. If I'm stuck in my teenage years. I mean, I did kind of waste them. I used to isolate myself and just play games. Maybe I just never learned how to behave, and now it's all coming on fast-forward mode.

Bleh. I just wish I could be who I wanna be, without people looking at me weird. Not that their do, but they probly do lol. But in a year or three, I probly can't get away with it anymore.

I mean... I carry out my responsibilities like anyone else. I'm graduating school soon, and I'll be looking for a job. That's not a problem, so I don't see why my behavior should have any importance. But apparently it does to some people. Or maybe its all in my head.

	Do whatever the fuck you want. It is of no substantial consequence.

Try not to think of it as being childish - more like a constant, healthy mentality of being young that can be let loose when appropriate. You just need to know when it is appropriate; maybe that's what you think you don't possess. :P Either way, the way you describe your grandmother, it all might run in the family. Don't think of it as a fault of character - you could have loads worse characteristics than acting young.

	Also this is a pretty cool quote, sort of applies here: : When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up. -C. S. Lewis

	: Adults are merely obsolete children. -Theodore Geisel (Dr. Seuss) Remember, you can grow up any time you want. Going back is harder. Best to put it off as long as possible IMO.
