The Real 'YOLO'.

Well slap my buttocks with a warm tea tray and call me Lance, if it isn't 'Friday Eve' again already! Can't believe to speed that this week has rocketed through at. Well they do say that as you get older, you seem to perceive time traveling quicker than it did when you were younger. Although they do also say that time flies when you're having fun. So maybe it's just a fact that as we get older we just have more fun!?

I mean certainly true that as we get older we seem to care less and less about what people think, about us, about what we look like, about how we act, and about our opinions. We seem to acquire a kind of 'cloak of protection' to how other people see us, at least for the most part. It's only really those that matter to us the most that can get past that protective cloak we wear.

Generally speaking though I think we become a little freer as we get older because of this new outlook as well. Although that may be down to the fact, that we start to see things on a scale of how important they are to us and our happiness. So really it's down to the fact that all of a sudden, things that shouldn't really matter, start to actually not really matter. Well, there's got to a be a few plus points in getting older hasn't there and I think that not giving a hoot what people think about us is certainly one of the good ones. We very much adopt the (if you'll excuse me for using the term) YOLO approach to life! Sure, teenagers think they live like that, but we know they don't really! Almost everything they say, everything they do, and the way they act is generally about trying to impress someone at some level. Plus you won't find one of them that doesn't care about what other people think about the way they dress either!

Oh yes, I do believe the true YOLO outlook is reserved for all of us as we get older and meander on our own little section of life's stream. Do look after yourselves . . . and each other.
