So, considering I'm not anywhere near what you would term as "middle aged", what the fuck am I talking about, right? Well, you see, mum is turning the big Five-O *cue Hawaii Five-O theme tune* (she's awesome like that) in a few days and she might not say it, but it's making her feel old. That and I insist on making a big fuss about it and she hates being the centre of attention - classic "I'll make a big deal of everyone else but don't you dare make me feel like I'm taking all the attention on MY birthday". She's practical like that. AND. A friend said that he was too old to go to ComicCon with me. He's like 30. Dude, that's not old. And ComicCon is basically a bunch of nerds and geeks who don't even care how old you are as long as you're awesome.
However, I'd like to say that NONE OF YOU ARE OLD. It doesn't matter about the numbers. It matters that you feel good about yourself. You being you. You could be a 12 year old going for bingo nights, or a 95 year old raving in the clubs. I don't care. If you don't think about the number that you get labelled with, you could be as young as you wanted to be. Who gives a damn about societal restraints? (Okay, you might need to abide by some laws and well, some things are just inappropriate and wrong but you get my gist) Life is what you make it, so don't get yourself down by thinking that once you hit a certain age, you're all of a sudden "middle aged", or that it makes you on the last half to the rest of your life or whatever, because no matter how old you are, you could get knocked down by a bus, mugged in a dark alley or just keel over from bad sushi... So who knows, we're kinda all in a perpetual "middle-aged-mid-life-crisis-I'm-gonna-die" kinda state.
Anyway, I'm here to say that no matter how old or young we are, we're constantly going through mid-life crisis. Yeah, yeah, that sounds stupid. But have you ever actually thought about it? We're constantly freaking out, or "going off the rails", maybe I'm understanding this wrong but isn't a mid-life crisis when you get so stressed that it pushes you to do something else, or, you no longer care what anyone else thinks? Or am I just confused? (SEE, mid-life crisis, right over here *big, neon, flashing arrows*) Do we not do what you see the classic "mid-life crisis dads" doing? But instead of a shiny new, red convertible sports car, it's a new phone case or pretty bag or new shoes in the form of "I'm just treating myself"? So really, is life not just one big mid-life crisis?
Now that I've given you some mad ramblings to mull over, I'd like to leave you with this quote; which just so happens to be one of both mine and mum's favourites..

P.S. I promise I wasn't high when I wrote this. Well... that's a lie, because I'm high, HIGH ON LIFE *baddum tss*
