Suffering from serious case of Time Sickness

Thats just my way of saying I'm drowning in nostalgia.

One wonders why people have always been fascinated with the concept of time travel. I think it has something to do with the human obsession of wanting something that can never be had.

It's one thing to grow old and its totally another to grow old gracefully. I really don't buy this you can stay young at heart crap. A 20 year old behaving like a 20 yaer old is normal. A 60 year old thinking and acting like a 20 year old is just plain creepy.

It's not about the age really, it's about what comes with that age.

Me, six years ago, is nothing like me now. That doesn't scare me. I liked who I was then. I like who I am now. Sometimes, every now and then, the grass appears greener on the other side.

There's this odd feeling that I'm not doing everything I should be doing. I'm holding back. I don't know on what or why. But I just know I am. Six years back I didn't have this feeling.

Does age increase your expectations so you feel you are not doing enough ?? Or does age just make you senile and rob you of the courage to do outrageous things in life ??

Natural progression would indicate that age implies experience which in turn provides the impetus for rational behaviour.

Problem is, rational behaviour does nothing for personal satisfaction.

Damn it, I think this has a lot to do with the music I've been listening to. Been listening to this song called Venice Dawn. Check it out. Perhaps this song will get a better reaction out of you.

i absolutely do agree with wat u say!!!but i guess we all end up doing our part of "rational behaviour"..this behavior is like a uniform that we are gonna wear for the rest of our lives..Some manage to get out of it and some stay stuck in it..i completely miss those days when our irrational behaviour was absolutely rational to us!!!! :)
