You know, they say youth is wasted on the young. And I get it. I mean, when I was a teenager, I thought I knew everything. My parents would try to give me advice, and I'd be like, "Yeah, yeah, I got this, Mom and Dad." But now, looking back, I realize they were onto something. I mean, I recently tried to explain to my teenage niece the concept of dial-up internet. You know, the glorious sound of connecting to the World Wide Web. And she just stared at me like I was describing ancient hieroglyphics. "Wait, you had to wait for the internet? Like, actually wait?"
So here's the thing about youth: you think you know it all, but you really know nothing. It's like having a GPS that confidently says, "Turn left," but leads you straight into a lake. Thanks, youthful arrogance.

I've noticed something interesting about getting older. They say age is just a number, but I'm starting to think it's more like a password. You hit a certain age, and suddenly your body starts asking you for confirmation every time you want to do something. I used to be able to pull an all-nighter, no problem. Now, if I stay up past midnight, my body starts sending me security alerts. "Are you sure you want to continue? Confirm with aching joints and a desperate need for coffee."
And don't even get me started on trying to hang out with the youth. I recently tried to keep up with my nephew and his friends on a hiking trip. I thought I was in decent shape until they turned the trail into a sprint, and I turned it into a slow-motion montage from a '90s action movie.
So, note to the youth: enjoy that fountain of youth while it lasts. Because eventually, it turns into a leaky faucet, and you're desperately trying to patch it up with anti-aging creams and the occasional kale smoothie.

You know, being someone who straddles the line between analog and digital worlds can be a real challenge. I mean, the other day, I overheard a group of teenagers talking about "streaming," and I thought they were discussing a new Olympic sport. And what's with all these acronyms? LOL, OMG, BRB. Back in my day, we actually typed out words and didn't communicate through a secret code that makes us sound like malfunctioning robots. I mean, I had to ask my niece what "FOMO" meant, and when she told me, I felt a strange mix of enlightenment and extreme uncoolness.
I also attempted to use a dating app recently. Swipe left, swipe right—why does finding a date feel like I'm playing a high-stakes game of blackjack? And when did "Netflix and chill" become a legitimate date option? Back in my time, it was called "Blockbuster and awkward small talk.

Let's talk about youth fashion for a moment. I recently went shopping with my teenage cousin, and I felt like I'd entered an alternate universe where fashion rules were written in a language I couldn't understand. First of all, skinny jeans. I tried them on, and it was like trying to fit my legs into two spaghetti noodles. How do you even walk in these things without cutting off your circulation? I felt like a sausage in a denim casing.
And don't even get me started on "distressed" clothing. When I was a kid, if my clothes had holes in them, my mom would patch them up. Now, if your jeans don't look like they've been through a tornado, you're not considered cool. I accidentally bought a pair of distressed jeans and got asked if I survived a zombie apocalypse. No, I just had a rough encounter with a clearance rack.
So, to the youth, keep rocking those fashion choices. Just know that one day, you'll look back at pictures of yourself and ask, "What was I thinking?" And that's the circle of fashion life.
