Every year, you have to keep adjusting. I'm 28; I'm not 19 anymore. You have to work harder now.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The years go so fast. I mean, I just realized that at the end of the year I will be twenty-two, and I just turned twenty-one.
I still feel 29. Maybe I should act my age more, but I just can't.
How does anybody change from the time that they're 18 till they're 25? Everything kind of changes. You see the world much differently, and you get your priorities in order a little bit more.
Your life starts to take shape at 30. You don't have to make excuses for who you are anymore.
Getting older doesn't bother me. When I was 30, I thought I should have achieved more, but you get more comfortable and think it's time to stop putting pressure on yourself.
One of the things you don't always realize when you're younger is that not everything you try is going to work.
I find myself going out less and less. When you're 22 and see older people start to do that, it's depressing, but once you hit 30, you think, 'Wow, I've been working all week - it might be really nice to stay in!'
In 1979, when I was 39, I had such a bad year, I thought it was all over. Thankfully it wasn't.
The reality is, I'm not 24 or 34 anymore. Things are going to be different when I prepare for and when I compete in an athletic endeavor.
I'm still 19, and I've got a lot to learn. I've got to keep improving and not get too carried away with myself.
