My entire life it has felt like one day I will wake up and be 50. “Life is short” has been a saying repeated from all angles. From my perspective - the perspective of a 24-year-old who intellectually knows he is young but feels old - to call life short has only recently began to ring true.
When people look back on 10 years ago and utter the words “time flies” it is often due to an apparent recognition of who you previously were and what you were doing. To be able to relate to that person separated by a 10-year-span must be sickening. However, in your early 20s, you only just begin to understand that nausea.
Being 24 years old, 10 years ago does feel like 10 years ago because at 14-years-old I had not even grown into my body yet. A lot happened in those 10 years. By 34 I am sure to be different in many ways, but the basic buildings of my character and physicality - despite some added lines on the face, improved maturity, aches from the back, and maybe some receding hairline as well - will be a lot more recognisable to the 24-year-old me, than the 24-year-old me was to the 14-year-old me.
Therefore, in order to truly relate to the idea of life being short, I will need a few more years added on. But I know it’s coming and there is nothing I can do to stop it. And before I know it - and just as I have been anticipating - I’ll be 50.
