I have the following question and how are you going to age and that things are changing. I'm 16 or almost 17 and have the feeling that I miss something, I mean soon I'll be of age. I still remember well how I thought about 2-3, that everything is still so far away I can still enjoy my youth for a long time and that this is an exciting time. At the same time, I realize more and more that this is an illusion and that there's no such perfect, carefree time of which mostly older people talk.
I feel that being young is often portrayed as a beautiful, perfect time. Of course, I realize that it is never perfect or can be, but as already mentioned, it seems to me as if I miss something or do not recognize something. Something is missing.
Is it perhaps because of myself that I'm naturally a bit more introverted, or that I feel like my hobbies are sitting on my PC all day or watching Netflix? What do I have to do to appreciate and enjoy my time as a teenager?
Often I imagine what I could possibly change, but I do not implement any of it, because then I fall back into a phase of thinking like this again. Sorry for this long text, but maybe just who is in such a situation or has already lived through a similar one. Maybe someone can help me or give some answers to these questions.
I thought of that today too.
It's also an illusion that life is long.
A year goes by so fast and at the age of six you have to go to school every day and have to perform well. Sixty years later, you will be retired, usually as a physical wreck.
Am 27 and I think that I have learned a lot about people and the system. Otherwise I'm physically good no illnesses have become even slimmer and prettier, because I got my problem areas under control. So I'm happier than then, finally free and even at 40 I would find myself young.
You enjoy it.
You are as young as you feel:-)
