Journal entry 9/8/14

I think that so many young people want to be older, because they want to do all the things that they cannot currently do. I with I was a bit older so I can be able to drive, have a job or just be independent. Although so many people want to be older, many older people would like to relive their younger days. Many older people complain about how old they are and how they used to be able to do this or that. I truly believe that you should jut live in the moment and cherish the time you have, because you won't get it back.  when the time comes, it will come. No matter young or old just enjoy life to the fullest.
