Forever Young?

So I was listening to the song "Forever Young"... And thought to myself, NO I don't wanna be young forever!

I know the song does not mean it literally, but when I first heard it I imagined if I really stayed young how boring will it be. Not growing old? Growing old is fun. It is really fun to be young and party and have fun, but to everything there is time. It will be boring to do the same forever. Just as fun as it was being a kid and a teenager, I look back and smile but I won't go back. I did have enough of that phase in my life and moved on.

I like being at the age where I am right now, it is fun to be a college student and an employee. I have dreams and I would like to move on trying to accomplish them. Dreams to one day be successful, to be all that I can be and for those who love me and been there for me forever, to be proud of me.

If I stayed young, how will I accomplish all those things? I also would like to get married one day, have a family, love and teach my children, pass on my wisdom and experience. These things are fun too! I would like to be in that place someday.
Being a grandparent is also fun! Taking care of the garden and the dog, Telling stories and history, being cute and loved, watch the children getting married and having kids and teaching them, and I sit there and watch them proudly and happily... Isn't this great? These are the things that I look forward to and would like to have.

So I do agree with the song "Forever Young" because the meaning is to not waste your youth, but while you're young, act as if you will stay forever young without any worries about the future. Take chances and act, so that you will forever stay young in the eyes of others. You're gonna always be remembered by the things that you have done while being young. So it doesn't matter how old you'll get, you will be loved and cherished for the things you did young.

I like the video:


I like when he says:
"Hope for the best but expect the worst."
"Fear not when, fear not why."
"Life is for living, not living uptight."
"Through the darkest blocks, over kitchen stoves, over Pyrex pots, my name shall be passed to generations while debating up in barber shops."
"With a little ambition, just what we can become here."
