that's holding one back. We complain we dont have enough time, enough money or enough determination. If the above three reasons dont quite fit, we can always blame it on your parental units. Once you find the cause of why you never get things done, you must then proceed to dramatically roll your eyes and point your middle finger in the general direction of morgan freeman.

I have met so many people in their late 20's and early thirties, lamenting about how "old" they are. And telling me (the young one wtf) that the future is brighter for the youth, and that I should seize the day and do happfying, worthwhile things with my life.

And I ask. surely 20 something aint too old to go after what you want? As long as the will is there, surely there is a way?

And with dejected faces, they insist they are old and scoff at my so called nativity.

Do you hold hands with your husband when you go grocery shopping?
No, we're too old for that.
Do you wear high heels that make you feel like you can take on the world?
No, too old for that too.
Do you still hang out with friends til late at night?
No, too old for that.
Do you still watch cartoons?
No, too old for that too.

Next thing you know, they tell you they dont have sex anymore because they are too old and boring for it as well T_T But really, I dont wanna know. Too much info.

It scary and sad to see how early one has just, well- give up. Its as though after they get a job, they bottled all their aspirations, dreams and hope into a jar, and stashed it somewhere at the top of their cupboard. And once in awhile, they would pick up the jar,gently brush of the dust off it, and stare at it as though it was a piece of their past. After that, they would gently place the jar back into the top of the cupboard and head back off to finish off their knitting on their favorite rocking chair.

I dont want to grow up to be one of them. Young. Jaded. Repressed. Bitter. And oh so determined to make themselves miserable.

Each time they go about their lost chances, I feel the urge to tell them to smash the damn jar. Its not too late. Its never too late. Obligations and responsibilities will always be there. You will never be free of what you are expected to give back as a child, a lover and a member of this so called goddamned civilized society (peer pressure)

You can procrastinate or fail as many times as you want, but please dont give up just like that. Even grandmas can learn to rap.
