I'm 19 years old and I'm already terrified of aging. I don't know if it's just society's obsession with youth that's being drilled into my head, but basically I feel old and the thought of growing old enough to have wrinkles and silver hairs scares me to no end. I know it's so vain, but I can't quite help it. Especially now that I see all my former classmates getting 'real jobs' (cosmetologists, dental assistants, nurses, etc) and giving pregnancy announcements..I don't know. It's just kinda crazy. I remember being younger and on certain websites I couldn't even choose 1997 as my birth year because I was still too young to join. Now there are kids born in 2000 that know how to drive and I feel like the prime time of my life has already come and gone. I know it's silly, it really is. Every time I tell anyone about my strange fear they think I'm insane because 19 is 'practically a baby'. *shrugs* Anxiety, man.
To be honest there are definitely some pros that come with being an official adult. It's just that I wish I could now just pause time.
