- Thread starter eve
- Start date
Bugger me. lol..... nah, seriously though, youre not old.
I had a severe case of feeling old last weekend when I ventured out my bat cave for the first time in about a year around the localish pubs/clubs. The music was wank, the poeple supping booze looked about 14, and I felt a right ancient sod. I was even more depressed than before I went out. lol.
I thought thats it, my life has passed, but what you have to remember is that life is NOW, THIS VERY MINUTE. My brains being working overtime about how on earth I got to the age I am without me realising it, then trying to bear in mind that we all put things off in some sort of hazy utopia of when youre gonna do that thing youve always wanted to do, or sort things out etc....but the time is now, live life without thinking that youre older than you ever thought you would be otherwise you *will* become old.
You have a daughter, which must be very special, so you should remember how lucky you are - and just think on that in a years time, she can be getting you a round in at Timeless!!!!! lol.
I just wish it was easy to practice what I preach to myself! lol.
Dont fret, dont think about it........errrm, life s too short....now thats coming out wrong...lol :$
Sirius.
Btw, I come up with a great way of making the human lifespan seem longer........all you need to do is sit and permanantly look at your watch cos time seems to drag by........but wheres the fun in that?! lol.

I bizarlly enough always feel my chronological age is by far the best to be.
When i was 18, i was like- wow this is great, same at 21, mid 20's and now, at 28 i think- god being 28 is wicked, i get my own place, freedom to do what and when i want, be my own boss- and have finances to do it with.
Funny because if some one had said to me at 18 i would feel like this at 28 i would never have belived them, and i really am looking forward to the comfortablnes of my 30's, just chilling- being both emotionaly, physically and financialy stable.
I am enjoying getting older, and that really suprises me.

They say that ur as old as ya feel, and maybe today u feel a likle old but tommorrow is another day babes. I reckon you must have the Butty gene that keep ya looking younger anyways. I aint noticed any incontinance problems for ya dancing round timeless's, ya's aint let any go yet. If u are thinkin of retiring early... can i blag ya's podium lol promise i wont try sleepin on it

Same result really!Seriously tho, I know its an old cliche but yer really are as old as you feel (and act!). I've had a much better time in my late 20's than I had in my early twenties, although my teen years will take some beating.
but so long as yer happy & heatlth ..the worlds yer oyster no matter how old yer are.All the best for tomoz to yer lass anyway.
well what can i say to you all but thank u all for cheerin me up i know u r only as old as yer feel and age is only a number but when yer baby gets to 17 and goes out partyin more than wot i do age creeps up on ya... but believe me i aint hangin up mi dancin boots just yet.. so bobleeno sorry babe but that stage is still mine but u r welcome to share it wheneva u want mate... still got a few years of stompin left in mi yet just takes me longer to get over a nite out... will probably take my daughter to the next timeless she's about the same age as most of the peeps in there but then again does she really need to see the state her beloved mama gets in might have to reconsider.... so thank u to u all for your advice and managin to make me feel young once again lol
we will have to start a support group together.......
