Age...

What is age? A number, the way you feel, a way for people to let them know if you are in their league or not?
I am 31. I feel like 70 in my body, looks like somewhere between 30-40 and in my mind I am pending between 12-14 and 31. And turning 30 wasn't a big deal for me if I just stop and think about it for a while... The only crises I had that day was that everyone was on to you and reminding you and teasing you for getting 30.... That broke me down. Not the fact that I was turning 30. For me it is just a number.

It is the way you feel inside and the way you are living that decide your mental age, and I consider the mental age to be much more closer to whom you are. And that is hard when you are pending between a lot of ages.

Physically I am feeling really old, but that is most due to the fact that I haven't taken care of my body. I am not a guy that workout, even though I am not smoking or drinking like hell. But you need your workout. So I am having constantly pain in my body since I am to weak.
And my eyes.... Oh, just a few years ago I just used my glasses when needed... Now I have to have them on me every day... All the time!!!! And if I am not wearing them, I have to raise the brightness on my MacBook just to be able to see what I am reading and writing.

But in my mind, I am sometimes just 12-14 again. Having fun. Enjoying life. Even though you won't see me climbing in a tree any more... (I am afraid of heights, that's my excuse) But working with kids you have to have an open mind. You have to remember what it was to be in that age, so you can let them be kids as well. Not demanding to much of them. Not asking them to be adults until it is time.

So what is age.... Age is like a fine wine, it's just getting better and better for every year storing it, or it could be like milk... Sour as hell. It is all up to us!
