I remember when I was a kid and started to get out from my fantasy world and realize the real world, I was looking at the elder people and wanted to reach at their age and do what they are doing, speaking, acting, etc.

I was at nine when I start thinking about when to get thirteen years old and be a teenager, I thought that I would be much happier if I reached thirteen and my life would change upside down. So in my thirteenth birthday I didn't see anything new or special, I myself was the same, life was the same, people were the same, everything were the same!

Then I though maybe I have to get older so I can feel and see the difference and the unique world which I created it in my mind, then I started thinking about my fifteenth birthday, and how the life would be in high school, new friends and new activities, and new everything. I also reached fifteen and had my life in high school and had my new friends but it didn't changed my feelings or my life, again I though I have to reach twenty and go to college, graduate then have a good career, get promoted, nice car, dress professionally, hang out with friends, colleagues, join clubs, participate in activities, and getting forward in the life.

But suddenly I realized that I was so busy thinking about how to move on in my life and get older, even when I reached where I wanted to be, I've never stopped to enjoy it or feel it, I was immediately planning for the next move.

Now I am at this age regretting on my wasted life & age and try to focus on my present and enjoy it, because the past is already gone and the future is unpredictable. And life is not all about what to get or what we have, it is about how we feel and appreciate it.
