Young Life
Young Life
Young people who cannot wait for their dreams and hopes of great expectations that their futures will surely bring to them and the old people who live with the loneliness of their silent solitude, the bitter memories of missed chances, glimpse of moments and dreams that never came true. When we are young we can’t wait to get older. We can’t wait to be older so we can take a girl or guy out on a date. We can’t wait to be older so we can drive a car, Can’t wait till we are older to move out of our parent’s house. We can’t wait to be older so we can get a job and start making money and buy things we always wanted, can’t wait to be older so we can drink. We can’t wait to be older so we can get married and have kids and buy a house. Our feet are standing in the moment our present, our heads are in the clouds and our eyes are looking for an invisible future.
When we are young, we don’t know how to live day by day, so many things are taken for granted, we don’t really understand that life offers no guarantees, we might never even get older at all and we don’t realize that the only time in our lives when most of us will ever be truly and really happy is when we are young, when we are little kids, wondering what toys we will play with today or tomorrow. When will our grandma and grandpa ask us over their house again and let us do whatever we want, riding our bikes around in the sun, rain and snow without a responsibility or care in the world.
Another birthday and another Christmas on their way. We don’t realize that time fly’s by and it waits for no one and there is no fountain of youth to be found and all those things we couldn’t wait to be old enough to be able to do are the very things we will push away at day after day, year after year, while our only lives fly by. Breaking up with girls and guys over and over arguing and fighting about money and getting divorced.
