So, countless dreams sink between the two words "to leave for later". In fact, life does not have so many limits, most barriers are built up by ourselves in our minds. Thirty years old already worried about not keeping up with friends, forty years old worried about missing the opportunity to get rich, fifty years old automatically assume new things are no longer for us.
What makes people older is not the wrinkles in the corners of their eyes, but the disappearance of the feeling of craving to live and the desire to expect something tomorrow. There are people who are just over thirty years old who already live like young old men.
Conversely, there are people who are over fifty years old when they first enter dance classes, accepting their initial clumsy steps and then finding a passion for the rhythm of their bodies. There are people who only when they hold the retirement decision in their hand do they really start to take the camera, turning trips not into killing time, but to explore unprecedented perspectives, to love life more.
Their value is not in creating a great achievement for the world to admire, but in refusing to let age take away their curiosity about life. A seed never asks whether spring comes early or late before sprouting.
A river that does not stop flowing just because it has passed too many thorny bends. Then why would people kill their own aspirations just because of a few numbers on the birth certificate? Youthfulness has never been the privilege of youth, it is the ability to keep excitement for the unknown.
Don't wait for a perfect time, because perfection is an invisible trap. Maybe starting a new language, a new instrument, or a new lifestyle at this time will not bring you success or recognition from the majority. But that is completely meaningless compared to keeping a fire for yourself to dream of.
The day people stop dreaming of the things ahead is the day they truly age, even when they are in their twenties. And when your head is still harboring a plan, your feet still want to set foot in a new land and your hands still want to learn a new skill, then life is still sending you an invitation to embark. The greatest privilege of life is that every morning when you wake up, no matter how old you are, you always have the right to refuse to be an old version of yesterday.
