What do you think about the age?

Do you remember yourself being teenagers? What did you think of the 20-year-olds? I reсall we went to the dance hall and the girls over 20 seemed us too old to go dancing. We discussed that and believed we were right. (I hope times have changed.) It’s funny but we thought that there is a lot of time between 16-years and 20-years.

When I was 20 I thought that people of forty are old. Surely, now I don’t think so. When I think about my age, I understand that my youth is far away. 56 is almost old age. Though we don’t know how long we will live. If I die in 90 and won’t have Alzheimer's it means I have more than 30 years of not so active as in my youth, but conscious life. My stepfather (he is 94 now) often says me that I’m young. It makes me laugh. But maybe he is right from his 94 as we have 37 year between us and maybe I have many years ahead.

Life is so amazing, interesting, in spite of all our trials and tribulations, and short. There are so many interesting things, and so much to learn. Why not if I'm still alive?
