Must Be Nice Being Young

One thing I like about my life is that almost everyday I encounter at least one weird interaction with a random stranger. It makes my life interesting and funny. Since I'm out on the streets a lot, whether it be commuting or just kickin it, it's not rare to have some weirdo come up to me and tell me something. But I'm weird and I like it and I find it rather amusing.

But today as I was in the car with my friend, an older man, I'd say in his 50's, pulled up next to us. We had the music on really loud and I paid no attention to him. I was busy staring at his car when suddenly he said to me, " It must be nice being young." I looked at him and politely responded, "Nice ride."

It really made me think about how well I have it and how well we have it. I'm young and I'm healthy and I should be living my life to the fullest. Sometimes I find myself worrying about stupid shit like school or money, but I shouldn't worry because I'm young. I have enough time later on to worry about stuff like that. I'm young now and if I waste my youth, I'll never get it back. I can only imagine what that guy would do to get his youth back.

So next time I worry about school or loans or homework or whatever, I'll just remind myself about my youth. We should all stop worrying and stop trying to be mature adults and just be youthful people, full of life and having fun. You only live once.
