Question for anyone 21-25: You feel like time's running out? (Stolen)
You ever felt like once you start pushing 30 that you're getting "old"? I can't help but to feel like pop culture in today's society has made everything so youth oriented that once you don't have a "2" as the first digit in your age anymore that you've reached the peak of your life. The world has taken on a "Live Young, Die Rich" mentality. Everyone wants to be young. Young Money. Forever 21. Even people saying "30's the new 20"...to me is basically just saying they WANT to be 20 again. Even in sports...growing up I watched Jordan dominate the league in his mid 30's...I watched Hakeem win championships in his 30s...Barkley dominate in his 30s...I could go on and on. Now...if a college senior gets drafted alot of scouts/analysts feel like his window of opportunity for develop is CONSIDERABLY smaller than the guy who left after his freshman year and is 18/19 years old. You turn 30 in the NBA now and you're officially OLD.
Personally, I feel an increased pressure more and more each day to accomplish my goals ALOT quicker than I should be in fear of running out of time...and I'm 23 years old. I feel like if I don't buy that loft or that house...that foreign luxury vehicle...or reach that financial pinnacle before I see 30 that I failed. I always told myself I ain't trying to be living that life when I'm 35 because I won't get to enjoy as much I would if I were 25. My aunt and uncle are both approaching their mid 30s...6 figure income between the two of them...own a nice house...couple kids...BM and a Range paid for, etc...and I look at them like they're old. I've watched 30 creep up on dudes so fast and they aren't doing much of %%$% with their lives. I'm trying to re-train this thought process but it's very difficult.
