enjoy being under 25. Before that you are still a kid. When you hit 27 it will hit you, suddenly, you will wake up one day and become conscious of age, of death, of days gone by, of how far gone you are.
I am 28 and a few months ago it hit me. I am not young. My body will only decline from here. My breath will only shorten. My eyes will only dim, my arm will only tire, my life is behind me.
I am a virgin and I dropped out of college. My friends all moved away. The best days of my life outside of highschool were enjoying summer days as a 22 year old riding my bike around places I used to hang out with my friends. Now it is autumn and in my twilight years I do the same, but I no longer recall the memory as I once did, I linger like a ghost trying to remember.
I used to dream of being like Napoleon or Achilles. Now I wish I were only myself again.
Enjoy the vigor and strength of a young man as when it is gone it is gone forever - for should you look far enough ahead you will see a tomb at the end of your road.
