The Perfect Age

I used to worry about age for as long as I can remember.

Well, to be precise, I believe I was 22 when I started to worry about being old.

I remember back then I was wishing I had been 19. It didn’t stop at that. Once I turned 25, I wished I had been 23. When I finally hit 26, I hoped I was still 24. So it went on and on. I was never satisfied with my current age.

I figured out this kind of worrying does nothing but prevent you from enjoying your current self. My 22-year-old self should just have focused on having fun, whatever fun a 22-year-old would usually do, instead of lamenting about not being 19. I was 22! That was so young. What it is that I was worried about? When you look back, it really looks silly.

Since last year, I have decided to put a stop to this constant dissatisfaction toward age. I remember someone told me once that he didn’t like the thought of approaching 30. Despite it did sound scary, I really didn’t want to entertain such thought anymore.

I was 27 when I started feeling comfortable and even thankful for my age.

At the time I felt like I was the most beautiful in my life. To this day I still often look at my reflection on the mirror and think that I never looked better, not even compared to when I was younger.
