Not Atall. I will be much more wise. Wisdom is very important to me. I can't wait to know what I'll know in 20-50 years from now. We can learn plenty from the world around us. We can learn much more, from ourselves. :)

I fear getting old almost everyday. Like Puppielove above - I didn't think about it much when I was younger - kept thinking it would never happen almost because I had so far to go. And I always thought I would want to live as long as I possibly could. But now - being only 22. I don't want to live to be old - really old. Because I'm scared of all the health problems. I look at my family and they're all miserable. They're backs hurt and legs hurt and diabetes and they take 54486646464 pills a day. And they're lonely. I don't want to go out like that. I want to live long enough to see my grandchildren grow up - and then go - so like 65 or so. Any older and I think I would be miserable. I'm also scared for the changes to my face. You see pics of Liza Minelli and people like that - they were gorgeous when they were younger - and now they look...sorry to say - but ugly. They're skin hanging and it just doesn't look like the same person. Old people are overlooked in todays society as well. I enjoy being young and people listening to my opinion - when I'm older - no one is going to care. I'll just be alone and in pain - waiting to die. Scary.
