Age-ophobia

Why do people have to grow older? I mean really! It's so unnecessary. I wish we had a say in deciding when we want the aging process to stop. It hit me the other day while on my way to work that I've been on a steady ascent since puberty. I feel I may have reached my peak; a plateau. Is it all downhill from here? Gasp! Dare I ask when the signs of my extended stay on mother earth shall manifest?

Time seems to fly once you hit adulthood. I don't remember the years during my younger days zoom past me at the speed they do now. Golly! Back then from one birthday to the next seemed like a decade. Not so much anymore! No sooner have I blown out my birthday candles than it's time for the next. Oh dear youth, why hast thou forsaken me?

Call me superficial, but why can't I just stay twenty something forever? Alright I'm asking for the impossible, so let's reach a compromise: at least let me look twenty something for the next thirty years. Pretty please? It appears to be that my pleas are falling on deaf ears. Botox in a few years anyone?

Oh well, I shall enjoy my youth while it lasts. I'll live in the moment and try not to think about a "" dentures in a glass, hard of hearing, wrinkly" future!
