i accidentally go over my profile here in my lot as i was trying to click new discussion but end up with profile tab or link. and i get to see my age on my profile. and it hurts to see that number. time has passed indeed. and i can't do any thing to bring back the time when i was much younger and reminds me how i just wasted my time and youth to nothing. wish that i have spent my life in more important things. but sometimes only things that needed a lot of sacrifice is what worth living or enjoying.

I know the feeling well. I have about 12 years on you, but I guess the difference is, I'm just glad to be alive and every day that I wake up makes me happy. I can't wait to see that next higher number on my profile! I won't say to forget the past, but make something of your future! Set yourself a goal and plan how to reach it! I remember my first go-around with ovarian cancer (I was about 3 years older than you are now) and I felt pretty much the same way. I spent all my time working (two jobs at the time as well as trying to find time to volunteer with the Red Cross). While I was in treatment, my doctor told me I couldn't work so to keep from going totally crazy I spent time every day at the Red Cross office getting paperwork completed that hadn't been put into the computer for many months. Now I am in treatment again and I still help in Disaster Services whenever I feel well enough to get to the Red Cross office. Maybe you can find some activity where you are helping your community to fulfill your life goal! Have a great weekend!!!

I'm sorry you feel that way. Me? I never tho8ught I would live This long! I thought I Had to die by age 18! I never thought I would live to see any of the dreams left on the table when I reached my 18th birthday. But I did live and although I didn't study in college or got the dream job others saw for me, I did get tro see many a film when I was young and I started the habits that make me happy now. The years have gone by but I have had more good than bad. My age is just a number. a number I usually have to figure out to remember. All I can say is you are still alive , there is still time for you to do what you want. Just follow your bliss.

Hello, time is mobile one. No one can stop it. Its have own speed. We cannot rewind the clock. So no benefit in thinking about which is gone. You have done lot of good deeds in your past. So remember these instead of hurting on age. You cannot stop your age.

Late is better than never. As long as you are still alive, you should grab this opportunity to do whatever you think it is meaningful to you. Whether you were wasting your time in the past or not, it is very hard to justify. Different people may have different goal and philosophy in his life. Your goal might be too high and you failed to achieve it, then you disappointed and felt meaningless in the past. However, never be so aggressive. We shall put in our effort to try our best. Once we have done our part, we shall not feel bad and feel meaningless to ourselves if we fail to achieve or to get what we want. Work harder buddy. We did not waste our time because we have already tried our best in our trial.

Your chronological age is just a number!!! you are as young as you feel.There are moments in life when you get this sudden realization that time is not standing still and is not coming back.What you have to do is enjoy every moment and think that you have a lot of years ahead of you to do things that make you happy.I checked your age and was surprised to see how young you are.Keep living and enjoying life!

There is a good thing about seeing that number. The alternative could mean you were 6 feet under. Some things you may still be able to do. If you knew you were going to die, what things would you do?

Well, don't disappoint or hurt when you see your age. We all gone through adulthood and no one will stop that... The life we spent in such longer period of time in our life will be counted as success. Even if we suffer a lot hardship, trials, difficulties in some other portion of our lives. We are still alive and enjoy the benefit the beauty of life...

Colonel Sanders the Kentucky man become successful by using his pension money at a late age. Please dont be discourage cause even if dont realise it the youngs actually also are watching the elders like Am i going to be like this too when i grow older? There is so much things on the negative if we look on the negative side. An icon once say that the look can become older but the mind need to be rebirth.

That's the reason I did not put my age in my profile. I don't wanna be reminded about my age. And boy December is fast approaching and I'm gonna age again I've wasted so much time and opportunities but all I can do is to accept it.

age can be really depressing to look at especially when you feel like theres so much more to accomplish.so i think you should live by the moment and always do the best that you can for every endeavor you encounter

There is a proverb i.e. Time and Tide wait for none. However, its a great advantage for you that at least you did realize this fact.

Age is just a number, every year increases as we move forward, but we can still young how the way we took care of our self and how the outlook we see in our life, be happy with what you have,just believe in yourself, and the age? just leave it there, there's nothing we can do that its increases and increase as the days goes by..

Hello HotSummer, Would you believe that SOmetimes I hated Celebrating my December and January Months sometimes, because I know that it's going to another were I am reminded that am not young any more. but despite of my situation I try my best to be more mature than I already was despite of short comings. don't worry we have to find a way to accept what is going around us, we can't afford to stay at this age forever.

Hi, Never look back at your life if it upsets you. Have no regrets. Th counting starts now. Look ahead and set your goal. Age is no barrier. If we put our mind to it, we can achieve it. You are right. Sometimes sacrificing can leave us with such a great feeling and it is sure worth living for.

Sometimes the littlest thing in life changes something forever and there will be times when you wish you can go back to how things used to be but you just can't because things have changed so much. Every wrong decision is in fact a correct decision but taken at a wrong time so never regret anything, because at one point you wanted it. Don't stop... keep walking ahead. :)

But what's wrong with your age? Just enjoy it.Like every age it has its good sides.You have done lots of mistakes and learnt from them.You know stuff about life that you can use now.You are more mature and stronger than you used to be 20 years ago.There is nothing wrong with your age.Everyone is aging but you shouldn't see this as a bad thing.Just enjoy your life and use the lessons you learnt yesterday in your life today. Be happy! It's a beautiful day! Whether you are 22 or 39 :)
