Feeling Old...

I know most people would laugh at my complaints about getting older because I am only turning 23 this year. But still... I feel like my life is rushing speedily towards full adulthood and there is no way to stop it.

"So scared of getting older, I'm only good at being young. So I play the numbers game to find a way to say that life has just begun..." -John Mayer

I find myself listening to that song more and more these days. My cousin Natasha... she's 18 now, turning 19 in May, and I remember the day of her birth quite vividly. The same goes for my niece, Samantha who is graduating from high school this year.

Strange.

I freak out mostly because apparently, a woman's life ends at 30, while a man's life is just beginning. Why is time so cruel?

Another thing that made me feel old was my job. I have these two teenagers, both female, who come and volunteer to help with homework in my class.

They call me Miss. Miss... no one has ever called me that.

Well, it's not that big a deal actually. I'm probably just blowing this out of proportion. I just want to be 21 forever I suppose. What a great age that was.

I'm sure 23 will be just as amazing.
