Remembering a version of me

in ulog •  6 years ago 

I've just had one of those special conversations with what I can only describe as a younger version of me. The whole time, I was smiling, as I was listening to words that reminded me of my younger years.

You know what I'm talking about I'm sure, and honestly I kind of miss that version of me a little bit too, just like you.

What am I talking about, you ask? In one word: idealism. You see, when I was in my twenties, my early twenties I believed in all the mainstream ideas: democracy, merit, independence, freedom, etc. These ideas are beautiful, they still are, I just don't see them in the same way, not anymore.

However, when I hear a young soul talk about his passion for politics, his future plans to go grow inside the company he works for, get his 401k going and all that, I can't help but to smile.

Precious little day, I have to say. A good reminder of the road traveled so to speak.

We also believe we are invisible which at least makes failing easier as we get up much quicker from defeat. Not the same as we get older!

When we are 20 years old we believe that everything is very literal, but the reality is that as we live our practices, we realize that it differs a lot from the theory.

Young blood, the blood of teenagers.
They are always excited by the thousand ideals that have been written on his mind.
