"I wish I was older"

My thoughts on people saying "I wish I was older" or "I can't wait until I'm older".

Why wish for something that's inevitably going to happen? Why chase instead of live? Each second, minute, hour, day, week, month,  year- you are older. Wait it out.

Time is the greatest thing we have going for us in life. It is all we have. One minute we're fine and healthy, we can't guarantee what happens the next. We should be greatful for the time we have now and appreciate ourselves at this moment, not look into the future and think you see something or someone better.

I understand people can "look forward to getting older" but saying you "can't wait" and "wishing" you were older, what about all those years you'd miss in the fast forward process? And it's never going to happen,  you'll just have to wait it out like everyone else. But while you wait, do things and take advantage of what you have!

I know people say phrases like this without actually thinking about what they're saying. Well they should, and they should appreciate the moment and help build themselves a nice life for when they reach that "older" they were chasing.

Yeah...

K bai!
