I Don't Want to Grow Old [Growing Old]

I've come to dread birthdays now. I'm getting older and it's really freaking me out. Just feels like yesterday I was 18. Where did the time go? I'm afraid time will run out before I figure out how to really live instead of just exist. It's not a good feeling.

You may have to grow old, but you don't have to grow up.

Seriously though, my advice is simply not to be afraid. Thinking about travel? Do it. Want a new job? Get one.

At the end of your life, you will regret the things you did not do...
