The age of immortality

Funny how we have certain ages and act in different ways. From what i know... or should i say... in my not so humble opinion...

Our ages gives us the rights or tendencies to act out differently.

Here's how it goes:

0-2 years old

We could get away with almost everything. We can cry, throw tantrums, and even have that "s" mode, and people would just choose to smile and say, awwww... how cute.

3-4 years old

This ia the time when you can talk a lot of non-sense stuff and people would think you're smart. This is also the time when we start to explore more than just our regular world... this time, we learn to be more sensitive with the world around us.

5-8 years old

Pre-school to Elementary days. We start making friends and enemies. As early as this stage, we already start finding ourselves and our destinies begin to unfold. This will be the critical year when learning what's right and what's wrong will matter... or hurt. But this is also the time when we can be jerks and people will just think you're a kid.

9-12 years old

The greatest transition takes place here. We learn to have our crushes, we learn the weird feeling of love and attraction. For guys, this is where we start to wonder why our friend down there gets hard.

This is the time when we believe we're super heroes... but this is also the time when people will always say, you're no longer a child, but they will still treat you as such.

Each stage has it's own rights and privileges. This ia the time when you can call dibs on the shotgun seat. But as much as we are forces to believe that this is the stage where we are no longer allowed to cry, we're taught wrong. Every stage we go thru doesn't eradicated our past, nor our tendencies to go back to acting like them.

You can be a 10 year old yet still cry like a 5 year old when you get hurt. It's normal. You can even go as far as throwing tantrums again like a 2 year old.

13-16 years old

The prime of our lives... or so we think. This ia the time when we don't really worry too much about important stuff... well, at least not important enough for the older guys. But for us, during this time, it is very crucial to have friends, lovers, and good grades. All in all, this ia the age where acceptance will play a major role in our lives.

People will never understand why we worry about our friends, feel the need to be cool in school, and have a boy/girl friend to be accepted by society. Contrary to popular belief, i think this marks a crucial stage in a person's life.

This is where we learn to control our emotions, make friends, lie just to be cool, and peer pressure. This is where we are molded into better, or worse people. This is the start of finding out who we really are, and what we can really do.

This is the most unforgiving stage wherein the need to belong will always make us do things that are contrary to what we learn at home. This ia our yet flight zone. Most of our bruises and scars will come from this stage. Both literally, and metaphorically... it could also be physically, mentally, emotionally,  or even spiritually.

This is where i learned my first lessons in envy, jealousy, love, pain, sadness, happiness, and hurt. But this is also the stage where i learned to dance to the tune of everyone's own songs. Oftentimes, This is where we get to find our friends for keeps.

In this stage, the feeling of immortality kicks in.

This is the stage where we are called the teen-agers. And yes, we will often hear this phrase, "bah! Teenagers! " people will expect us to be reckless at thia point. And that's as good a reason as a justification to be an ass.

17-21 years old

Ahhh... the prime age of immortality.  In this stage, we learn to blend in with the world. Some better than the rest. This is where the society sees us cross over from being kids to young adults. This ia where we cross from being barely legal to being legally bound by the laws of the land.

People will always wonder, where do they get all the energy. Why do they go against the rules of life? This is because this ia the stage when we think we can do anything without any consequences. We are immortals, we can do anything, and we can't get hurt. We will try the risks without thinking of the gain, just for kicks. We will try different things in life just to say we did it.

This is the stage when people will think you're arrogant, and a know it all... well, i'm sure you are anyway. Some people will last a lifetime in trying to let go of this stage. Why? Because it's. A fun stage... the age of learning... and the age of application, all in one.


People will always expect us to act our age... but do they really know what that means?

When a person cries, he is like a kid who needs comfort. That's when he's being a 5 years old.

When people throw tantrums, he ia being a 2 year old... buy i guess it's normal.

We can act like 40 year old serious guys... even if we're merely 20. It's a choice.

To make it simpler... our ages, and these stages don't really mean we can't cross over age brackets. It only means that, people will expect us to do what ia normally done when you reach a certain age. Well, at least 90% of the time. Because the 10% percent is our right to be who we want to be at a certain moment in time.

And the simplest explanation is this... the only time we feel we are 18 years old ia when we turn 19. It takes a while to absorb a new statistic added to your age. Funny how the youth ia wasted on the young... but funnier ia how a kid loves rounding up his age... and is in a hurry... while the older guys just want the calendar to stop making them age.

Life ia beautiful... enjoy each and every stage as if it were your last... the ending will always be the same... we just dont know when.
