Happy birthday!
I hate my age. I need to get out of my teens pronto. One year to go, basically.

I don't like getting older. Being 21 is, as they say, no fun.

Agreed with Lauren's post. Except I've got two years, ha.

19 is unpleasantly inbetween-y. Hmm. Age is boring anyway...

In a way as long as I've had some decent yoof experiences (erm 23 and still waiting for them in the most part..) being old will be pretty cool mainly because as an old man theres much less pressure to care about your appearance/dress etc and you don't have to work, score!
I'm an odd amalgamation of an angst ridden 16 year old and a grumpy old man anyway.

The increase of health problems that goes along with aging is going to suck though.

Yeah you see but even that has its plus points, I mean I worked in an old peoples home; as you probably know and if you need a piss you don't even have to bother going to the bog you can just stay sat on your arse and wee in a little tube, again, score! |

Wow, Josh. You truly have created some kind of utopia. Your vision of a perfect world is awe inspiring

This thread offers some serious insight into Josh's mind.
I don't mind getting older, but at 18 I'm hardly decrepid yet.

hey HAPPY BIRTHDAY =)
why don't you want to get older? when I was 14 I always wished to be 16 or 18...
but when I think about it... I never want to be older than 35 xD I don't know why xD Maybe I think this is the border between young and old...

This thread offers some serious insight into Josh's mind. It's not complex. Laziness, perversion, angst and Doctor Who. Fin. |

I guess old age will sort of validate my penchant for endless puttering and shambling, so that's something to look forward to.

I hated being 14. I hated being 16. Being 18's been pretty sweet, but I doubt being 19 will be much different. I will probably enjoy being 22, for symmetry's sake. PS: Happy birthday. |

I mean, I know I'm only 21, but I feel like my youth is all over! Like all the fun things I wanted to do when I was young have past, and I've just wasted all my time. I know I've got lots of time left, but I look ahead of me and I see another year of school, then frantically trying to get a job and then spending all my money paying off student loans, and just.. no time to do anything. Always stuck in one thing or another, just trying to make it by.
Getting old kind of sucks.

When I was twelve I was excited to be thirteen, and when I was thirteen I really wanted to be fourteen. But I don't think about it so much now, I am fine as I am I guess, and whatever ages I happen to become... if that makes sense.
I have no issues with getting older or staying the same age. Although I don't reckon the latter is very likely.

On the eve of my 10th birthday, I cried because I didn't want to be "double figures," but now I'm looking forward to growing up so I can experience all of the magic that life is promising me. I can't wait to be bitterly disappointed. |

Stay at 16?!
If I stayed at 16, I'd be a twat all my life.
Birthdays are terrifying, but nobody notices because they're busy getting presents and having parties. Every birthday is another number to live up to.
At seventeen was the worst for me, though I'm not sure why. I didn't feel like my mindset was like my age--being young was an excuse. I was closer to being an adult and people close to me were getting their lives together at this point, whilst I was still trying to get my head together.
Every birthday feels silly and there's nothing to do about it, but recently it isn't so bad anymore. Age after a while can bring good things. Knowledge and experiences makes marks in your mind, that sort of stuff. However, growing old terrifies me. At the age your body is falling apart and wrinkles are strewn across your across your face. (My body image in negative enough as is; hopefully I won't care so much then--even now I wish it didn't take up so much mindspace.) The age where everyone complains about their aches and ughs. And I'll probably be losing my head at old age. It'd be stretching my life past the age I want it to. I just want to enjoy life as much as I can for a few decades and then I'm satisfied.
I'm terrified of turning 20 next year; I'm no longer a teenager. As a youngling I was miserable, but all I had to care about was school. It was enjoyable in that aspect and I didn't have jobs and paying for everything weighing me down, but golly gosh, all the little reminders of myself at that age build up a sillyhead. Bring on age, as much as you terrify me.

I remember your fear of getting older, it's in the dim and distant past now, mind. Now I'm older it seems like I was actually more afraid of the increased responsibility that I was expected to have after each birthday, rather than the aging process.
So yeah, finding the white hairs sucks, the evening skin care routine of at least three moisturisers/anti-aging stuff is time consuming and I'd not realised how much my joints ached until I'd been on a couple of month's course of steroids and had to come back off them because I was invincible and had a fear that my previously unheard of testicles were about to drop...
My forties (careful; I can hear the gasps from here) have bought about that much promised ease with myself, who I am, what I look like (well, nearly) and have made me realise I'm not old, I'm just not young anymore. I see you guys, how beautiful you are, how shiny and intelligent and full of potential and I envy your youth, but not your angst and uncertainty.
I'd happily go back a few years and be 35 forever, either that or be as gorgeous as you all are now but with knowing everything I already know.
PS; I say all this, but I recently announced that I was staying 43, I wasn't going to get any older, and 44 could go fuck itself.

yes. seventeen is the worst year of all. you feel "old" but you're not legally of age to do much. sort of in limbo.
if i had to pick a teenage age to be all my life i'd choose 18. so far it seems pretty nice, especially if you were to take away society and Life Planning.
or maybe i'd be 15, cause at fifteen i was still naive and didn't care about shit, i hadn't really come to this world, this life, yet.
this would be a perfect time to break out a wilde quote.
