How you feel about being young


I can’t even begin to express how I feel about being young; sometimes I wish I could be 10 years younger. When people celebrate on 31 December, I get worried because I know I’m getting older now, I will no longer be 16 or less, not that I don’t want to get old it’s just that I get to experience more things in life as I grow up
I’m not ready to celebrate 50th birthday, in fact I don’t even think about that age, especially for now. I think to be surrounded by people who care and accept me for who I am. I love watching cartoons and holding lollipop that makes me feel younger. Knowing I still have a great sense of humor and love to laugh.

Dancing to music when no one is watching, feeling my hair bounce when I walk, having fun with friends and running to catch a train when I’m late, that is how feel about being young, because if you are old you can’t run like I do.

To be taught about what is right and what is wrong. The feeling that I need permission to do something. Being cared for when I’m sick. Watching my friends getting married.  Seeking special attention.
People used to call me Shorty, because I’m short, the other day one lady told I can’t open an account because I’m too young, that makes me feel even more younger.  
I love everything about being young especially in this country.
