Fountain Of Youth

I Already know I'm slacking cause I was supposed to have been blogging. But I haven't been blogging because my birthday is coming and I've been putting all my focus in that. Getting older is difficult for some. But for a long time I've been looking forward to it. I'll be 21 this year. Now granted that is nowhere near old and there's a lot of different reasons why I should be excited about that but the main reason is because I am now able to be recognized as an official adult in society. I have worked very hard for my life and in my mind this birthday reflects that. I never understood why people dreaded their birthdays so much. People associate  being old with being feeble and therefore unable to live life the way they once had. But I don't believe that to be true, you're only as young as you let yourself believe you are. Age is relative. A lot of people say silly things like "1 year old is one year closer to death" or "the older you get the more you lose". The way I see it  anyone can die at any time. No one should let the fear of death stop them from doing anything they believe it is important. in my humble opinion I believe it doesn't make sense to be afraid of something that is inevitable. So instead of fearing one should be rejoicing.  Every birthday is a small victory, a stepping stone  toward ones ultimate goal. Everyone is so used to looking for the answer , an easy fix to aging. No one realizes that the secret to staying younger isn't in any advertisement nor commercial.  Youth itself lies within the human spirit and the will to stay active healthy and happy. Nothing more nothing less. So if you are searching for some sort  of an answer , look within yourself first.
