Do you feel old?

dennis hodgson

Someone I know recently complained to me that, having turned 40, they felt old. I told them the story of Young Sid, and if, whatever your age, you too are feeling "old", you may want to read this:

Yes, I did read about Young Sid, and now I feel terrible. I guess it's what you do with your life that keeps you feeling young or old. Nice story.

Feel terrible? Sorry Rum, that wasn't my intention. The story of Young Sid was meant to be inspirational.

As far as I remember, I felt Older when I was around 5 or 6 years kid, and that feeling led me to being with older for the enjoyment a lot of times- ;))

I could confess, I'm still act similar a lot than realizing doing it despite my age!

Young Sid, truly got some guts by the way! And, when it comes for youthfulness- I'm sure I'm up to break the age nonetheless.

Nice way to answer them those in 40, Dennis!-;))

I think that Young Sid had been doing that kind of thing all his life Moonomo, so perhaps it didn't take as much courage as you might think. Still, his was an admirable achievement.

Feeling "Young" or "Old" truly isn't a indication of age- its the mind, body sometimes influence though- like you said Dennis- at some age some parts of the body decline any dictation-

But there are people decline that body language- and make it to work with their mind- Young Sid did it- obviously it wasn't his sudden action-

Thanks, Dennis-

as the infamous saying goes.. life begins at 40 :) . I don't this is just a matter of perspective. The older you get the wiser you are. Hence why i cant wait to get old.
I am not aware of young Sid but it seems promising since you are referring it.
Too bad some felt old, maybe it is something i will never understand.

Infamous saying indeed Raven. I've always maintained that life does not begin at 40, but it sure as hell doesn't end there either.

Raven ∙ 27 weeks ago

you mean it does? hehe :P .. yeah i agree it doesn't .
Either way we only got one shot in life so make it count ya? ^_^

For me the longest your enjoying life and the moment you are in you are never old ^_^

Yes Dennis, I am still in my late twenties but still I feel I am older to people around...
It's your environment and surrounding which makes you feel older or younger.

age doesn't matter one can always be young by heart :-)

dennis hodgson ∙ 27 weeks ago

I don't think of myself as "young at heart" Homer. I just think that young or old, they're just labels.

Mind you, when you get to my age, some parts of the body don't work as well as they used to.

most of the time i feel m too old to do this to do that..even though m just in mid 20's... youngest in my family..but bzy hectic schedule, life style, type of work all make me feel i m old enough to do this to do that sometimes...but lil sid's story reminds me one should be young at heart, thoughts... thnx :)

If you have a busy life, it must be easy to feel old and tired, but remember that even though the body may age, the mind is ageless.

I fell old to be at school, other than that I am young at heart and in mind. Still loves anime and talk senseless topic with my friends.
