Youth Beautifies With Age

By Bonita Li

We love to look back to our sweet old memories, free without too much responsibility. The first taste of independence and fun seem to be the greatest things of all in our lives. When we get older, we gradually have more work and responsibilities that make us too busy to enjoy life.

You don't necessarily remember the hurt and pain being a teenager, how you were once unsure about who you were. The smallest thing will put a frown on your face, be it an acne, or a friend of the opposite sex. There was so much stress trying to get accepted by peers at school. Now if I may, let me take you down the lane to re-explore how unworthy those times were.

1) Spots. It has for sure crossed your mind how you would spend your night with a boy or girl you met at a weekend party. What was so disturbing was to wake up the day after and have them look at your face in bright daylight. Oops, the harsh reality says: looks do matter. Pimpled face is definitely not a turn-on, though the boy or girl of your dreams may as well be troubled by the same thing.

2) Spurts During Growth. Some people have undergone horrible growing pains whereas some people do not grow much. Don't think that people who grow faster at a younger age are lucky, they may need to tolerate the bad things that brought by stretch marks in their later years. No one wins or loses in the 'battle' of growth.

3) Parents. You swore to be a cool parent when you were younger, or at least appear to be less manipulating and more hip. Now that you are one, or maybe going to become one, you must admit that there are no exceptions. It's easier said than done.

4) Cars. Instead of a Lamborghini, you are just driving a shabby car. There is no chance to take away the beautiful girls from those older boys who have more money and much better cars.

5) Sex. You always want it but you couldn't get it! However, when you think deeply, it doesn't affect you much after you've become an adult actually.

From now on, whenever you get indulged into thinking about how sweet the teenage time was, please think about the embarrassment that you experienced at that time, it's only after you have got older and become an adult that you have experienced a lot. - 31877
