Aging

My view on aging is that it is defiantly a life changing affect, and it is seen in our appearance. But ageing isn’t just about the change in hair color or the wrinkles on the face, but I think of ageing as having a huge affect on the mind. People say that “the older we get, the wiser we become.” While that is all true; there is a certain age where all the wisdom leaves our thoughts and our minds are going in reverse, as we get older. It becomes a point where the brain has to think hard on just remembering a name of a relative, but the brain will still remember the daily routine of the person’s day-to-day life.  I notice aging more that I’m in my 20’s and I have younger cousins and older cousins, and I see how ageing has a pattern of how we act at certain ages.

 For instance, at a young age up to middle school, kids are carefree and don’t have to worry about getting a job, responsibilities of life (besides doing chores around the house). At high school age, they become young adults and they are seeing people in different ways. Young adults are having relationships and learning how to handle part time jobs and taking one step at a time at becomes an adult. From college age, they become adults, and their mind is set on a track to getting things done, but still having time to have some fun. The older you get, the more you learn that not everything comes easy as it was when we are younger, and that we have to work hard to get the things we want, or to get to where we want to be, in order to have a good steady future. Then down the road, the aging that a dramatic affect in our appearance, mind and health, becomes a big factor for anyone getting older, and sometimes you need someone to always help you with simple tasks that you can not do anymore. Sometimes I don’t like to think about ageing because there is always a sad ending, but what I can say about ageing is to learn from your mistakes you might have made in the past, so that you are ready for whatever life throws at you in the future. And above all, just enjoy life to the fullest.
