Response to "Rush"

After reading the piece entitled, "Rush", I started to wonder why so many people want to grow up so fast. Obviously, everyone always wants to reach a certain age and with each specific age comes a specific milestone: 18 means you're legal, 21 means you can drink alcohol legally. However, why can't people just take a step back and enjoy each and every day of their lives? I personally live by this motto. Each year older I get, I try to make the most out of it as I can. People only live for so long, and it means you're nearing the end with the older you get. I don't know others, but I have seen so many older aged people saying that they wish they were younger, and wish they could get back to their teenage years and college years, etc. I don't want to be one of those people! I mean, sure, when I'm in my 40's and 50's I'll be wishing I had my younger years back, but that begs the question: why on earth would you want to grow older now!?

I'll stay 21 or younger for as long as possible, please. (and that's only two more years...)
