Besides, they say that 40 is the new 20, so that means we're really only looking forward to being teenagers again---which for some reason, isn't as appealing as it sounds...

While I think that we know ourselves better with time, our needs and certain aspects of ourelves are ever changing. It's the beauty of possessing higher faculties.

I wish you the best of luck in attaining this goal. I think I might want a full paragraph to do that. Possibly make those who read that paragraph say that this young man has lead a full life before becoming responsible by owning a house, marrying a wife, having 2.1 kids...

Maybe it comes after watching divorcées breakdowns and self-help television, but I feel like we’re more conscious of happiness. We know it doesn’t have to be reserved for old retirees. Like a “special occasion” dress, we know more joy comes with wearing it often rather that waiting ‘til later. It’s a gift, I think, that today’s twenty-somethings are reflective of their own meaning.
