Why Age Means Experience Enrichment & Not Just Getting Old

Ever been called old before or asked the dreadful question: How old are you? Everyone has probably been asked this question more than once, however, when you were a kid this question probably held no reaction when you gave your reply and no one thought negatively of it either because the reality was that you truly were just growing. By growing, I mean gaining enough experience to get your foot in the door so you can be prepared for what life was about to throw at you. In this post, I hope to clarify the value that comes with aging and remind everyone that aging creates the best version of you.

Today's View:

  • Growing older means less time to enjoy life
  • You look less attractive
  • Labels like boomer, etc.
  • Not much opportunities and should just retire

 The Exception: People Who Had To Grow Up Early
Not everyone was gifted with a stable family, friendships, or education so they most likely had to learn how to grow up fast. This group is an exception because they reached a stage of maturity early in order to increase their survival and meet their personal needs.

The Right View:

  • Age means new horizons: traveling, job opportunities, skill acquisitions
  • Many mistakes and many lessons learned
  • More freedom and more responsibilities
  • Not a soft baby anymore, ready to take on life with a smile
  • Life is a game and you can maximize on each opportunity with each experience.
This is how I like to view age. It should be more of a number of experience level similar to the high level of a person who spends time on a video game. Your age is a reflection of where you've been growing which is yourself. In every aspect of your life, you have been constantly growing with each new activity, decision, and failure. Your age should be something you should be praised for and of course, something you should be thankful for. At the end of the day, knowing you lived a great life and worked very hard at that last level will mean the most. Thinking about all the lives you've touched and the positive impact you've had on others will sky rocket you to more success and overall satisfaction in life. 

Age is bliss and strength!

I hope this helps change your view on growing older and you continue to grow to become a great person!

Why I Stopped Blogging For A While And My Life Restart For 2021

 Besides how crazy last semester was and the current pandemic of things, I honestly didn't want to try anymore. I had created too many walls to even start. I spent majority of my time rediscovering myself. I missed who I was before this pandemic started. One setback I wanted to let people know about was that this was my first time not going home for Christmas and spending the holidays alone in my college dorm room. The rest of this post will elaborate on the events that took place. I felt like I became Batman. Stuck in my hole without anyone. I turned to anime specifically very dark anime. I stopped majority of my habits I had developed last school year including blogging or making Youtube videos. I stuck mainly with working on my art drawings that I had created the past school year. I slept late and ate junk food especially McDonalds. At one point, I felt like I had essentially fallen into a rut. However, this was only the hard parts of the story. I saw myself grow. Social media s...

Why You Should Say "Hi" First

Ever walk down the street and see millions of faces you don't know and just wish on the inside that you had the courage to talk to people. As an introvert and shy guy in general, I have struggled with this problem for most of my life and all of that slowly started to change the moment I decided to take initiative and say hi first. No one will wait for you to say it. I found it to be more of an instinct that occurs the moment I lay eyes on a close friend or acquaintance. It helps with easing the tension when our brains recognize a familiar face. If you struggle with social anxiety, this may help you ease those worries but the best way to do it still is to recognize that you need to reprogram your mind to see social situations in a different light honestly. The only exception to this is someone who ends up ignoring your presence entirely as you acknowledge them. It is a very dissatisfying feeling but there definitely are people like that. Don't worry about them, they aren...

What I Learned About Life From Watching "Codename: Kids Next Door (KND)"

Image
The Kids Next Door (KND) is an early 2000s Cartoon Network TV show that was based on the idea of kids with their endless creativity teaming up with their friends to fight off their enemies who were regularly adults. I know this concept seems a bit convoluted but it actually is a lot more understandable than it sounds. KND only fights evil adults that treat others badly because not all adults are bad and not all teenagers are bad either; it is the acts of unfair treatment or cheating that causes this team of operatives to spring into action and save others, specifically kids. They are similar to the Men In Black or the James Bond for children giving them a voice when no one could at their age. When I was a kid, this show had an amazing impact on me! I couldn't believe how awesome kids were creating amazing tree houses full of all kinds of amazing technology. In modern times, things have only gotten better as kids are becoming even more creative through social platforms such as Tik...
