22 is my favorite age. I see it as my middle ground. Being 22 makes me feel as though I’m old enough to decide how to run my life and yet still young to be considerably understood when I screw up. I’m old enough to know what I want, but still young to be baffled and more so clueless on how to get it. I’m old enough to have my fair share of responsibilities but too young to be saddled with all of them. I’m old enough to distinguish reality from make believe, and still young to get confused between them. In life, I’m old enough to gamble to have more but too young to settle for less. I’m old enough to fall in love but too young to fully give myself to someone. I’m old enough to chase after my dreams and certainly too young not to stand up every time I trip over. In a couple of days I’ll be turning 23 … I know I’m too young to be scared for turning just a year older… But I figured that I’ll be also too old for some other things and that what frightens me.
