i think we forcefully act as old person and limit our enjoyment!
we should enjoy the things we like to enjoy, no matter our age or no matte how others will perceive us, theres always a way out!

You have my praise. Such wisdom from youth is always encouraging.
I believe one necessary joy of youth or age, is the willingness to waste time. It is a way of defying age and death. And so, I'll offer you a quote from Somerset Maugham.
In "Mr. Harrington's Washing", he's stuck on a train going across all of Russia from Vladivostok to St. Petersburg in 1917, with what amounts to a turn of the century self-improvement obsessed yuppie.
His character in the story is Ashenden, but Maugham really was a spy in WWI, and really did go on this trip.
So, he's in their compartment playing solitaire, and the yuppie, Mr. Harrington comes in and admonishes him that solitaire is a waste of time, and it also kills social discourse.
Ashenden(Maugham) replies, "Well, I always thought that there was something elegant about wasting time. Any fool can waste money, but when you waste time, you waste what is priceless."
