I am turning 26 in less than 2 months now.I am literally feeling OLDER already. I hate the fact that time pass by so quickly... often I feel like I haven't lived the young life enough. I haven't been out partying that much... now it's kinda too late, cause my body can't really take it. What aspect makes a person really seriously HATE getting older? I miss my old years more and more, and I wish I didn't take them so god damn for granted... I wish I had a lot more self confidence and just did whatever I wanted to do... now everything feels even harder! What do you think about getting older and getting past your mid-twenties, and what is your relevant placements? IP: Logged |

I think that's normal. The media seems to worship youth as well, and there are countless products designed to make you look and even feel younger. And don't get me started on how vile we treat our elderly as a society. All in all, you shouldn't feel alone about how you feel, it seems to be the rule, assuming you're in the United States (attitudes vary from culture to culture). And really I think it's this conditioning rather than placements that make you (and millions of others) feel as you do. As for me, I barely noticed reaching 26, had too much going on...I think by then I was through with partying and good riddance, not to say I regret what I did (a few incidents that friends loved to make me cringe as they talked about them not withstanding) but it did get tiresome and it was time to move on. To me youth doesn't equal freedom (save in being able to pick up my things and move) but rather restriction, and also lack of respect from society and as I got older life got easier so I'm glad it happened. That's right, the older I got, the easier life got (so far). And that's not a joy many can share with me because they'd rather have their youth, even if that's the only thing they have going for them and the rest of their life is screwed, because they somehow feel more relevant (though that is most definitely an illusion, but not one many who are young see through) and less responsible (also an illusion), I presume. Though there is one thing I miss...I don't seem to have the ability to go as long without sleep and the constant energy I used to. I'm still energetic enough but at about age 30 I realized that it was starting to wane. OTOH, when I was younger with more energy some people actually mistook me for being on speed! IP: Logged |

OMG, 26,, SO sorry, I am 53, thus I cannot at all relate to feeling old at 26. At 26 I was having the time of my life. I am however reminded of the idea that we all want to live a long time and we all do not want to get old, funny eh, er not so funny. Such is life. I suspect because of your particular placements you are just feeling your coming Saturn return EARLY. Yes time does fly, but don't let that slow you down. At any rate there is the soul,& the indomitable human spirit. ------------------ Seimei, Jupiter Nadir IP: Logged |
