old mates

[jesy]

I recently met up with a friend who I've known 25years .
It was great night but one thing that got to me was the constant referrals to our age plus I said about my ex and she said oh yes I remember him playing out on his bike made .e feel a big-time a perv lol

It was great to see her but so much has changed since I saw her last
I just feel like I've not grown up but in a good way

No real point to post just has anyone else been thru it x

Been through what? Meeting an old friend and finding out you don't have much in common any more?

That she seems to have gotten old

Well, it is inevitable that a lot of the past gets reminisced about when you meet up with Old Friends. They can leave you feeling 'nostalgic' 'sad'
Etc and possibly a little bit irritated, because they are NOT you.
You have to decide now whether or not the emotions that surfaced during your meeting were good or bad for you. If a so called friend makes you feel too bad, then you owe it to yourself to give up on them.

However, you seemed to enjoy her company but just got a bit emotional.

Sorry to disappoint you but don't think anyone grows up. At over 70 I don't think I am a grown up. I am capable of being totally silly.

I don't want to grow up no offence to anyone but I like doing daft stuff.
I'm not saying I didn't enjoy her company as I did

I went to a school reunion a few months ago. We're all the same age but some are grannies now, some are parents to toddlers, others haven't worn well physically & some haven't changed at all. The ones I remember as gigglers were still giggling and the serious types were still serious. Personality is pretty fixed even if everything else droops.

We get old... whaddayagonnado...?

Mmmm Jesi no one wants to get old! least of all the old! Somehow you have to learn to live with ageing.
It is also no good looking back and wishing that you hadn't done this or that , because NOW is reality, and you die if you worry and you die if you don't worry.
It is amazing how short life seems when you are nearer the end than the beginning.
I can't imagine how I got to 70+
My idea now is to enjoy myself as much as possible and not worry at all about what people think or feel about me. Also I don't bother with anyone who annoys me and is a mood Hoover.
Anyway you sound as though you have the right attitude.

Xx

It not the aging that bothered me but it's all well pretty much she talked about kept referring to it.

I joked saying your aS old as the man you feel she laughed but I've met him and he a lot older and she said how old would that make you

To me life to short , I was ill recently and was really scared and since I've tried to be positive ,

I think I have a young attitude
