Too Young / Too Old

Which gets in the way for you?

You think you’re too young, 
so you delay.

But then one day you realise
you’ve started saying you’re too old.

Excuses, excuses.

You missed your slot!

Where was that dividing line?
Between too young and too old?

And how did you miss it like a heartbeat?

Surely a significant milestone like this couldn’t be missed so easily?

After all, you’ve been lamenting it your whole adult life.

Maybe the trick is to see:
You’re never too young.
You’re never too old.

It’s all made up!

Stop putting yourself in an imaginary box.

Or if you must tell yourself a story, 
why not tell one that serves you:

“I am the perfect age 
to do what I want 
right now.”

It’s taken me my whole life to figure this out, and thankfully, I’m not too old yet!

What about you?
