Man!!! I can't believe that in only 3 months I will be 19.. life has passed so fast!!! like.. that means that when I turn 19 I will be almost 20. I remember to see 20 years old people as fully grown ups and stuff... now I am not so far from it. I wanna be 15 again.. I have to admit that I'm scared of growing up. Life seems to be hard when you're 18, how the heck would it be to be a 30 years old? I am not a typical 18 y/o girl.
Life passes too fast, 18 more years and I will be 36.
I feel old :(
Do you or have you ever felt the same?
I've never felt any rush of being adult and mature and stuff as some people pretend to be.
I think I have the Peter Pan syndrome

Will you come to my birthday?
2007-09-15 16:30:40 · update #1
Happy birthday sweetie. Anyway, u know, u don't have to grow up totally. Just enough to keep things running. U know, job, some sense of responsibility. etc. But u can still be a kid at heart. U know, that's what guys do. they have houses, families, and such, but they still find time to play video games! That's what I'm doing. I feel I'm a grown up, but I still act like a kid. Sure, I'm back home now, and I'm married, but u know, I'm a kid at heart, and it shines through. My husband said he liked my personality too, so I guess there is someone out there for everyone who wants someone. OH well. Yup, I'm a big kid....mentally, because I'm not even five feet tall. But I"m almost thirty, and still love to color,and watch the disney channel! Ha!

well I totally know how your feeling In one of my previous questions I feared turning 18 heres the thing age really isnt anything but a number.....seriously just because your 60 doesnt mean you cant play basketball right? I have the same problem I over anylaze or fear things that I have no control over.....I mean you'll be 19 and your not even old enough to get a drink lol so your nowhere near old so I would stop worring and enjoying being 19 before you wish you were again when your 40 like what your doing now (about being 15) really I know how hard it can be but seriously just enjoy being 19 hope this helps! And remember your age does not define what you can or can't do unless of course your to young like alchol if under 21 or cigarettes if under 18 Live life to the fullest and remember life is what you make it!
God Bless,
Evan

Don't worry too much, just because you are supposedly an adult at 18, almost 19, isn't old. Have you ever heard the saying that a woman's life begins at 40? It's true. I'm 52 years young and enjoying every moment of life, and I have experienced some interesting things and look forward to many more. Peter Pan isn't a bad thing. Want to go play on the swings?

When you wrote the "Peter Pan" syndrome, that's what I was thinking just before I got to the last sentence. When I turned 30, that did not bother me at all. 40 was the big one for me. I changed my whole life around at 40. Wasn't happy, I was stuck. I looked in the mirror on my birthday and I said to myself "I do not want to live like this anymore" Time was passing by. I decided that if I did not change at that point, I will never be happy and life WILL pass me by. I put my whole self into being just by myself, and to live for myself. I still had all my friends around. It worked. In a few months my whole life changed for the better. I felt free and happy. My attitude changed. Believe me, you have a long way to go. The only advise I can give you is be yourself. Be happy. Don't LET life pass you by. When I was in my 20's, I always thought that 50 was such a long way off. Well, now I am 51, but everyone says I look 35. I have a very outgoing personality. I went through many bad relationships, but now I have the love of my life. A bit late, but better late than never.
And I am having the time of my life. LIVE YOUR LIFE like it's the last day, and tell yourself....This is the first day of the rest of my life!! Go get 'em.....

Congratulations--you have growing pains!
Congratulations also on trying to puzzle out some of the Great Mysteries of the World. Calm down and accept yourself as you are.
Are you in college? Enjoy it (but do attend your classes and do your homework!). Are you out of school and living at home? Contribute to the housework, and use some of your time to explore things you love (adult ed classes, volunteer work, library research, etc.), or find a part-time job in a place or in a field that you enjoy or want to explore.
Don't think that you have to take on adult responsibility all at once. Take it on gradually. It will come soon enough! Growing up doesn't have to mean giving up who you truly are and fitting some cookie-cutter idea of adulthood. Think outside the box. Growing up, at best, means becoming in full flower the person you were meant to be! You're still you, only better.
If you think you have Peter Pan Syndrome, see the movie Hook.
P.S. You've started to notice that the older you are, the faster it goes!

Oh man! I know exactly what you mean! I turned 19 on 9/11, and I am so weirded out by how fast its gone! it seems like it was just yesterday that I was in high school, but now I'm in my second year of college, Mason will be home in a year and a half, and I'll probably be married a year or two after that...It's freaky! And I'm still the same girl I was a couple years ago. weird. Have a great birthday!

LOL, In 24 months I will be 50 years old.
I hope you have a fantastic birthday. (one you can remember too.)
I agree life moves pretty fast. So I hope you always enjoy the ride.
Congrats on being 19!
P.S.
At 19 you are Peter Pan, I hope - don't be so in a rush to grow up. Have you seem adult products; and don't get anyone started on medical or dental stories - and GRAVITY somehow affects women more than men, hmm don't remember why, because I'm old! LOL.

I am 19, and will be 20 soon.. that's fully grown up to you. Yet I do not feel grown up at all. So I know exactly how you are feeling. I still love to play nintendo, play outside with games like capture the flag or frisbee, and live with as few cares as possible. I'm in college now but I'll be d***ed if i know what I want my future to be. And sometimes I wonder if I should be acting older, more mature.
It's good to reflect on yourself - what you were and what you've become, but it's even more important to take advantage of each day, because they are limited.

No I won't come to your birthday. No offense. But as far as what to do... Well I look at people as teenagers and early 20's and I can't help but think "was I really that stupid?" Not that I think you are stupid. I'm 30 now and I feel happy about my age. I don't feel old at all. It's all in how you look at it. You could be dreading 30 but really it's just a number. We're here for a blink of an eye in the grand scheme of things. Don't waste time thinking that you are old. Enjoy life at all times during your growth. Every age has time to enjoy life.

Just live your life. And try to remember this when you are on the edge of 54. Each year is a gift of growth and love. At 19 I don't think you would feel a rush of maturity. So don't worry about the little stuff. Live well, be kind, and allow your perspective to change and expand.
