Signs of Aging

I know I'm getting old because:

1. I'm losing my hair. I find my hair everywhere. On the floor. On the bathroom sink. On my pillow case. I spend about an hour or more a day picking up strands of my hair, and making sure it's not all over the place. I have to sweep my house often because I can't stand the sight of my hair all over the floor. At this rate, I'll be bald by 28. 
2. I get sleepy earlier. I used to be able to stay up late at night, and wake up early in the morning. If I ever try that now, I end up walking around like a zombie, and falling asleep while I'm eating.
3. I'm starting to say, "When I was your age..." Children these days are raised so differently from when I was a child. 
4. I'm worried about my future. If I will have a job that will allow me live comfortably. When I was a younger, all I cared about was what I would be eating for my next meal. Now I have to worry about how I am going to take care of myself?!
5. I can't eat junk anymore without having to pay for it afterwards. I used to be able to eat hot cheetos with nacho cheese, and now the thought of it gives me a tummy ache. I have to worry about things like bowel movement now. (That was too much information, but I was trying to prove a point.)

There is a lot of perks with being an adult though. You get to travel. You get to stay out late. You get to do whatever strikes your fancy. You become wiser, more intelligent. There are lots of opportunities when you are an adult.

But the truth is, I would give it all up to be a kid again. To be able to not have to worry about bills, and have the biggest concern be about how late you could play outside. To be able to get tucked in at night, and know that someone is taking care of you. To be free, and not burden with complicated problems.

Ok, maybe I wouldn't want to be a child again, but I wish I enjoyed my childhood more.

I finally understand now why adults used to tell me to enjoy life as a child. You do miss it as an adult.
