Over 40, when you were a teenager and imagined your life when you got older.?

Question

Is it better, worse, or what you imagined and why?

Answer 1

first of all i don't know if am gonna live that long lol  

Answer 2

With 18 you think that you will eat the whole world with one bite and with 40 you find out that the world sometimes is eating you…

With 18 I thought that I will always be the winner and I thought that nobody will ever stand in my way and in this case I would walk over everybody to reach my targets.

Now I know that I have to be patient sometimes and compromise a lot.

I believed that life will be only fun and money will be there to burn it…

Now I know how hard it is to earn some money and go along well.

I took everything for granted, health, strengths, happiness, wealth and fun and thought it will always be like this… now I know that things like that are gifts and that we have to be grateful for every good thing that happens to us in our life.

What did really change me is the fact to find true love and my daughter…

Answer 3

I don't think of it in terms of better or worse, it is just that it is different.  As a teen one can't truly understand all the things that life involves as you get older.  There are so many responsibilities and so many things over the years that happen.  Life is a giant experience that we can't control or fully understand beyond what we are living in our own lives.

Answer 4

Family more important than what I thought

Things not as important

Adulthood not as enjoyable as I thought

Relationships more demanding than I thought

God more important than what I thought
