AM I OLD OR JUST BORED???

My standard of living was much better when I was living with my parents!! So when I think back about 6 years when I wasn’t working – I used to be so excited about shopping, eating out, buying new books, going for movies, planning picnics- especially the cycling adventures…there would be a whole lot of research that would go into it. For every new T-shirt bought there used to be 5 shops visited, for every book bought, there would be reviews read from magazines, from friends, newspapers. So am I here talking about the value or money or is it rather time??
Well to get it in the right perspective, maybe the value for money was also much higher...but then there also was time to do so many things.
Once work started maybe the shopping increased, but do I really take those pains to mix and match things and get the pleasure of a combination well made? Of course there are those “ Dress like you are going to appear on the cover page of Times” Days…but very very far and few. Most of the days are like “who’s really going to give a damn to what I wear”? A meal out, being more out of convenience doesn’t give as much pleasure as pestering your parents to take you out for a week and finally them agreeing. So am I getting OLD??? But being old doesn’t stop you from enjoying life does it?? Or maybe am so bored that everything seems dull and uninteresting…
So by that logic maybe my standard of living may have been the same, but my standards were much higher…where nothing but the best under the circumstances would do for me. Now even “OK” does for me…maybe coz I think that there will be more time and better things ahead….Boring me!!!!
