When I was younger....
Ok. Wait. Let's be clear about this. I'm 46. By no means does that make me old. By my calculations, based on my family's history, I have at least 35 more years on this planet. And considering that I've been an adult for about 35 years... Is say that makes me at least 15 years away from old.
Ok then.
When I was younger, I didn't have to worry about my prostate, or hemorrhoids, or flipping up my glasses to read a damn menu. Nope. I took it all for granted.
But I was also clueless. I was so clueless that I took chances that I never should have taken... and most of them paid off.
And how is it that I never noticed how many beautiful women there are in the world? Damn.
Do I regret only having bedded one of them? No. Life is to short for regrets. But if I knew then what I know now...
But I guess that's my point.
It's been said that youth is wasted on the young. No it isn't. The young are too dumb to realize what they have and they need the cover of healthy bodies and naive confidence.
It's a good thing.
And thank God for young youthful bodies. At least the female ones. :)
I would question the "adult for 35 years" thing.....
ReplyDeleteMy dad told me recently that for all intents and purposes, we raised each other (my siblings and I) by the time I was 11, I was the family babysitter.
DeleteBut, if I've only been an adult for 30 years, then yay me!

ReplyDeleteI would question the 'adult at 46 years.'
ReplyDelete&, my Macbook hates me.
DeleteBut we love you. So, forgive your Mac. It's just misunderstood.
DeleteIt's old. Unlike you.
DeleteWe love you, whether you're old or not! :)
ReplyDeleteSome days I'm old. Others, my wife accuse me of being a toddler.
DeleteAll things in moderation.
Ok....I have to come back to this because every time I read this in the post list, I see "Getting Old and Horny"
ReplyDeleteI think I need some therapy......specifically massage therapy....
That is so desperate that it's pathetic. Besides, I need massages more than you.
DeleteOk...but no happy ending this time....you have to finish yourself.
