Young is the joy of racing on, wanting to be older and wiser. Wishing away your days to reach an age. Always looking forward to being just that bit older.
Old is wanting to slam on the brakes, feeling the days pass too quickly. Wanting to pause time or turn it back, and with your wisdom, make changes and undo regrets.
Some people never get old even if time has caused them to look it. Some people get old before their time because they raced their way through it.
Allow yourself to grow slowly at a steady pace. It's not a competition and it's not a race. If you slow down and take your time, you'll appreciate the moments and joys that you'll find. You'll never miss an opportunity in your dash. You'll never worry a choice was made rash. If, you carry on at a gentle pace, you'll still be chilled out in years to come, and this is the secret to still feeling young.
