Mid Life Crisis Becomes Me?

It’s only a dream! Whew! wipes sweat from brow.  Had the most awful nightmare this morning, dreamt I was 36 years old.  Not that much ahead from where I’m now, but it still caught me by surprise.  All I could think of in my dream, was how near to 40 I was and that I was speedily approaching Society’s Sell By Date.

It’s not that I look old for my age, in fact I look like I’m in my late 20’s and luckily have good genes to thank for that.  The days are whizzing past, years are feeling much shorter and I don’t know if this has anything to do with Global Warming or any weird new scientific explanations.  All I do know, is that my Birthday feels as though it’s celebrated way too often.  My friends know well I always make the joke of “It’s my Birthday Everyday!”  Reason being of the wild party animal I am, but now that saying is starting to ring some truth to it.

Back to my dream, anyway my dad was with me and pointing out this new woman he was interested in.  He was saying that she had gotten fat and was saying that not only is her face old now, but now she doesn’t even have a nice looking body to show for.  To this I replied and said that he mustn’t be so shallow, because at the end of the day Beauty is only skin deep.  Whatever!!  Were those really my words, u can tell I was only dreaming.

The harsh reality is that looks do count.  Physical attraction is very important, we humans are built that way unfortunately.  We live in a self conscious society, shallow as it may seem.   This is what was so disturbing to me in my dream, because we are all going to reach at some point in our lives that fateful day where you realise you are not turning heads anymore.  You become this invisible person that noone really truly listens to, unless you have the wit, humour and intellect of a Woody Allen.

I don’t want the inevitable to come about, so I came to the near conclusion that I will be approaching my life with a healthy eating plan, gym everyday and a positive frame of mind.

 P.S. Guess what song’s playing on Highveld right now?  Forever Young by Rod Stewart.  How Weird.
