Twenty five years and going strong! Well, so I tend to believe anyway- that keeps me sane. How does one measure how old they are? Should you feel old when you are 35 (like most women do) while some believe that life begins at 40? If this is so, why do I keep feeling that as the years go by, I can’t help but want to get younger by the year? In actual fact, I don’t want to age, the thought of getting wrinkles, not being able to jog as fast as I can etc. Makes me want to stop time! But then I look at my mom, my aunts and uncles and none of them look their age, so it is in hope that I will follow in their paths and age as well as they are- keeping my fashion sense goes without say.
Is age then just a number? I have seen quite a number of well aged men who do the same activities as I do? And I think to myself “I want to be exactly like them!”. Life is too short to feel old, I say as long as you can still breath, dance, and smile and believe in God and yourself- the sky is the limit.
I want to look back at my life in my retirement age and feel that I was a proud South African who did his best in life, touched a few lives in a special way and kept thriving for success.
There is no such thing as old. Is there?
I feel the exact same way Thabo, i dont wanna grow old and wrinkled but wiser and prettier...lol. Love this!
ReplyDeleteWow Thabo, I was smiling as I read this blog. It's like you are talking about me (not wanting to age) The secret bhuti is not to eat and drink everything.
ReplyDeleteSuperb writing!!
I agree Thabo age is just a number look at sisi Vyone Chaka- Chaka she still sing and dance you looks far youner than her age. I have seen numerous people who look younger than thier age. One of the come to my mined is Lindiwe Sisulu the minister Defence and Military Veterans.I would also love to look youner when i reach 40 or 45 years. But it also goes with the way your look after yourself. So you right age is just a number nothing else.
