about getting old

When I was 14 the world was my oyster. I had my first holiday without my parents, I danced in the Spanish discotheques  all night long and I thought I was going to be a designer or an artist. My parents were two people who were very unfair every now and then and I loved yet.

This year I'm going to turn 20.
And I had to come to the conclusion that I'm old - at the age of twenty -.-'
There had been indications.

Well, me whining about backache.

Me not being up to undergoing.

Me understanding my parents

Just to name some points on the long list of evidences.

But the straw to break the camels back was yesterday.
I went to the fair with my little sister. And we were on a funfair ride. Just one of those which are spinning very wildly.

I got very sick during our ride. That means my vestibulocochlear organ has leveled off in other words my girlhood is over.
When one is young he needs the rocking motion to stimulate his sense of balance. Once this process is concluded one gets sick
Now I feel old for real..

But the question is why is everybody so afraid of getting old?
Age is not only a bad thing. Just with our society being fixated on youth we often forget about the advantages like knowledge and wisdom.
Just one more evidence that we have to think out of the "society box"
Since there are many topics much more delicate and in those cases our society does the same thing as in that case.
