In your mid-20s, you think you'll go on for eternity. Then a point comes where you realise that's not going to be the case.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As you get older, you think about things differently from when you do in your twenties, when you think you'll live forever.
At the end of your twenties, you realize you are inherently flawed, and that's great, and that's what makes you dynamic.
When I was 15, I never thought I'd live to see 21. And then I became 21, and I'm like, 'I'll never live to see 30.'
You feel you can pretend to be young until you're 50, but after that, what happens and how do you approach it?
I'll die before I'm 25, and when I do I'll have lived the way I wanted to.
It's funny, because when you're younger you're in a rush to be 18 or 21 or whatever. But then you hit 30. And now, the days go by like hours. You think, 40, man, this could be the halfway point. It could be the three-quarters point, you know? Who knows?
When I was 20, I thought I was 30 - but I was so far from it. When you're young, you want everything to happen now. As you mature, you can look back and see all the great things you achieved with time and patience.
But I think it's more that when you're young, you're invincible, you're immortal - or at least you think you are. The possibilities are limitless, you're inventing the future. Then you get older and suddenly you have a history. It's fixed. You can't change anything. I find that a bit disturbing, to be honest.
People idealize or reminisce about their 20s, but nobody tells you beforehand that it's hard and unglamorous and often very unpleasant.
When you're 20 or 30, looking ahead, you see these benchmarks for relationships, career, ambition, sexuality, and they went off into infinity. When you get to 50, you look at what's ahead of you, and there's an end. It goes into a nothingness, a void.
