If we are to accept things the way they are, we shouldn't be worrying about getting older, because if there's one thing we can't change it's the passage of time.
I think we really are as old as we feel, and I still feel like a teenager. I think when we're younger we expect being an adult to be different, maybe for us to have dramatically changed somehow. But I still feel like an overgrown kid playing house and trying to fit in with the adults at work or out and about. It's as if when we were kids we expected to have gained some immense wisdom by the time we're in our twenties, but the truth is none of us have done this whole "life" thing before, and we're all just muddling through. The older we get the more experience we have, and the more so-called wisdom we can pass on to a younger generation.
But really, we're probably all just overgrown kids, and I say the more childlike we feel, the better - as long as we continue to learn from life! So in this way, we can be older and younger at the same time. That's pretty neat if you can manage it.
