People often yearn back to more innocent times, but more and more, as I get older, I find myself hankering after more jaded days.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Certainly, for time out of mind, an obsessive dwelling on happier former days has been synonymous with getting older, while it was the juvenescent who rushed with open arms to embrace the future.
I would say that I am a jaded man beyond most expectations, but, like everyone else, I still have hope.
As I get older, I have a different look on life. I just try to be a little more tolerant and a little bit more centered about what's going on around me and not so emotional.
I am just pitifully nostalgic. I can't help but roll my eyes at myself frequently. I mean, I still shoot black-and-white film. And I am constantly reminiscing about the 'good old days.' I'm 28 years old. There haven't even been that many 'good old days.' But still, I love to look back.
I remain very much connected to my childhood... I have never been too jaded or too sophisticated.
I really don't think in the past. I sit down with many friends at dinner, and they like to talk about the good old days. I'm respectful of the good old days, but I find myself spending very little time reminiscing. I'm really looking forward.
As you get older, there's a loosening of the ties to the ego and the posturing of who you are and how you behave.
I'm not jaded yet. I'm still at the point where, if someone comes up to me with great energy, I'm happy to meet them.
I think that as you grow up, as you get older, we can't get bitter, we can't get jaded.
To me, everything is always new. People involved in my personal life make fun of me a lot for not being jaded.
