All My Friends Are Now Older Than Me

in life •  7 years ago 

I just returned home this night after spending some long hours with a friend of mine that's 10 times older than me. Another friend came in during the day and he's also 10 times older than me. I have another one many years older than me too that want me always around him. I look into my circle of friends and all i see is two friends that are my age mate, the rest are many years ahead of me.

Wondering what i am doing right or wrong?


Almost all my friends are now adult while i'm just a growing up teenage guy that feeds on the foods of mummy. Though i'm thinking i could take care of myself now 100% but i also think i need more mentorship from my dearie parents.

The question that keeps bothering my mind since i got back home this night is that; why am i attracting older guys as friends and younger ones don't come close that much? The interesting part of it is that; all of my older friends are university/college graduate and i am the only high school dropout.

Normally older guys, aren't suppose to be friends with younger guys and college graduates aren't suppose to be friends with high school dropout. But in my case the reverse is happening.

Normally i should be the one visiting the homes of my older friends because that indicate respect and also show how much i value them but they are the ones always coming to visit me at home and sometime spend the whole day with me.

How lucky could i have been to have so many older friends, because i enjoy their company more and i share in their maturity.

Now i believe, age is just figures, what matter most is how mature you have trained your mind to become and how reasonable you have trained your brain to sound.

My mind is my greatest asset and that's why i fear losing it than losing my life

Having older friends makes u smarter, i think :)

Lol, maybe i'm going to be smarter, just maybe

Normally older guys, aren't suppose to be friends with younger guys and college graduates aren't suppose to be friends with high school dropout. But in my case the reverse is happening.

I think the smartest thing to do as someone who needs to learn better things is to make friends with elderly people. So you are on the right path. You rarely see our teenagers gather to share ideas and innovations. They rarely talk business let alone how to become useful to themselves. In fact where teenage boys are gathered they discuss girls and vice versa.

Lol, you're 100% right dearie

Keeping company with older guys reshapes my thinking and lifestyle, also it makes more sense because my older friends are business minded people, no time to chat about girls and those stuffs.

You need to see the way we took life seriously as if this one life is all we have and yeah, this is the only life we have, if we fail then no resit or repeat not even in heaven

Is there a possibility, if i resteem this post that u will resteem mine?
I really put some time and effort into my post : how dragon ball inspired me to become a bodybuilder... that would help me out alot cuz im new on steemit hehe :D greetings!

Bania, age is just a number what you do whit it is what counts
I guess that's your case. The young ones may not be able to cope with you if what you have is bigger than them. Go with the big dudes likes attract like
