Most of my pre-college years was
spent wanting to look older and be taller. I remember wrestling in 7th and 8th
grade and ranging between 70-85 pounds and short as all get out. Though being
short had it advantages I was ready to grow. I will be honest to say I miss
some of those advantages, but I enjoy not getting stepped on during a concert
more. All this being said leads to me
saying I was once someone who looked 12
while 16 and now I'm amazingly 23 while 19.
I first came to this realization when I was at work and my Team manager was asking who all was messed up the previous night. He was surprised when I told him I'm legally not allowed to drink. After that statement I corrected him , like any honorable man who doesn't want to age past a certain age would do, and told him my proper age. He responded with a " Well I guess I'm use to working with older people." Now being the person of many thoughts another realization popped into my head and he is right I do hangout with people who are a few years older than me. Yes, I am blaming the people in their late 20's plus for making me look old.
I also noticed that my new friends, whom invited me out to a pretty intense and fun party, thought I was of drinking age. Now the weirdest thing is my 2011 classmates forgot my age and thought I was older. Now you may be reading this thinking I am hating looking older, but honestly I am enjoying right now. When I reach 30 and I looked 50 then I'll cry and hate it.
I think what really has me freaked out is I plan on doing so much later in life. a few examples are making music with my new and old musical talents, co-star in a few films and maybe land a leading role at least once, and become a world renown plastic surgeon. I do have high hopes for myself and looking older makes think "I need to hurry up and complete this bucket list I have going on!"
Anyways, I would like to thank the people who treat me like I am all grown up though when the future hits do not call me 40 when I am 28. I am enjoying my early life and I would hate to have to grow up with greater speed.
