The Benefits of Age

Face it, I'm getting older and nothing makes me feel more 30 than being out with a 21 year old. I wouldn't trade anything to be young again though. Here are some of the things I wish I knew when I was 21.

Get as much sleep as you can. Waking up badly for months will change the way you look at things. Don't get used to that.
If you worry about your looks at 21, you're going to have a tough time growing older. Get over how you look, no one really cares about how you look that as much you do.
Your mind is constantly out to get you. Use it to your advantage.
Honesty works. I lied because I was afraid of the reaction I'd get. It gets really tiring keeping up a lie. Freedom means not having to carry that sort of weight around.
A great side effect of being honest all the time is that I'm always forced to do the right thing.
Good things don't come by as easily as you think.

1) Screw the weight & the flab. The bulges are records of achievement. Plus, being big makes you feel BIG anyways - which loosely translate to "Don't you dare mess with me kiddo!"

2) Love all you want. Have as many crushes as you wish. When you are 60, retired and your kids no longer take you to McD, you'll be needing these memories to reminisce on

HAHAHHAA, i can't stop laughing at #1

[this is good]

I really like what you said here. "Honesty works. I lied because I was afraid of the reaction I'd get. It gets really tiring keeping up a lie. Freedom means not having to carry that sort of weight around."

If everyone could think like you...this would be a better place. :)

actually, the world might not be so nice if that happened =) check out this story:
