Aging on the day of the Fringe

Hey Guys so I was thinking about talking about aging for the Fringe obviously we all are but was thinking into it a bit more earlier and it suddenly occurred to me that I will be turning 20 on the 6^th of may our last show at the Fringe. I thought this was quite interesting as we are talking about aging. I started writing this before I realised this fact...

Why is age so daunting? I am 19 years old and if I’m honest way to close for my liking to being 20 and why? I have no idea we have such a negative way of looking at age we just think it brings death and decay doesn’t it? Well I don’t think so. I hate how cliché this is but age is just a number and to me this just means you can’t fit all your candles on your birthday cake anymore

This is so hypocritical of me as I don’t want to turn 20 at all (I still don’t know why). To me there are ups and downs to turning 20 if I’m honest. I would much prefer to be a real life peter pan and stay young if I’m honest. I don’t know if we can incorporate the fact I will be 20 on this day to make something interesting? We don’t have to obviously but I just had an epiphany is all and had to share the fact.

I also found this quote which I quite liked from a YouTube video I watched. I think it’s quite a nice way of putting age into perspective: “We’re programmed to die why is this bad”
