Growing old.

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

I made this thread because I'm going to be 30 this year. All I can think of is all the years gone by, all the people that have come in and out of my life, the fun moments, the hardships, and everything in between.

I think about the changes in my life and the world around me. I lived through the Reagan years, the Clinton years, and not just one...but TWO Bushes.

I remember when we just had Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis...I couldn't even think of a PS4 back then.

I remember when the internet was relegated to just AOL CDs that came with magazines every week.

I think about my family & friends that left this planet too soon, and I think to myself...why am I still here? It's a blessing in disguise. I live not only for myself, but for the people who believed in me and can't see me now.

Call me but I'm happy to still be alive and kicking!

Sometimes you coli poster get me so emotional, what you wrote actually touched me. Also, I wanna say that "13th Floor Growing Old" is one of my favorite Outkast songs. The melody is so simple, yet so potent.

It is. ATLiens is my favourite album ever. Period.

I didn't realize you were so young, your posting style is so mature.

to that track, probably one of my top 10 favorite songs of all time. Always puts me in that state of mind, but not in a bad way. Amazing how the song changed for me after I lost my father.

With that being said, it's good to look back at life every now and again and appreciate. I'll be 35/ in 10 days, but hey, I'm doing a lot of things I always wanted to in my 20's but was too broke and moving forward.

My midlife crisis is going to be EPIC...

My quarterlife crisis was kind of lackluster.
