You hope that your teenage self would like and forgive your 50-year-old self.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wish I was a teenager in the 1970s.
I'm aiming by the time I'm fifty to stop being an adolescent.
One of the shocks of a 50th birthday is realizing the fundamental fact that your youth is irrevocably over.
Wonderful things happen when you turn 50: you change perspective. You ask, 'Who am I? What do I want to do with my life? What have I not done that I want to do?'
I'm not sad at all about turning 40.
It's rough being a teenager in this day and age.
A lot happens at 50, the best thing being that you just don't care anymore. At 40, you still care. At 30, you care way too much - and your twenties are quite frankly a nightmare. Bring on 60, I say: just imagine the joy of having grandchildren.
If you're 50, you're never going to be 50 ever again, so enjoy being 50. If you sit through the year wishing you were younger, before you know it, it's going to be over, and you're going to be 51.
I spent my whole childhood wishing I were older and now I'm spending my adulthood wishing I were younger.
I'm too young at 50. I'm not grown up yet. There's part of everybody like that.
