dischord.org » Over the Hill
I don’t know what set this off but I woke up this morning feeling old. Not in a physical sense or even in a real mental sense, just in a “shit, I’m 26 this year. 30 is fast approaching!”. I mean, 30. The big 3-0. That’s officially past-it. Over the hill. Put me out to pasture.
This has led me to think about other depressing subjects such as the realistic amount of time I will still be able to ride my bike. I’ve been on a stupid little BMX for about 10 years now, and physically I can probably manage another 8 or 9 if I’m *really* lucky. Which means I’m more than halfway through my riding ‘career’, so to speak. This is depressing because being on that bike is about the only thing I really, really enjoy doing - and so what comes after that? Will I find something else to occupy my time?
Who knows? Fuck it. Better make the most of it while I can. I’m off out to get drunk tonight and then I’m going to hit Stockton-on-Tees skatepark tomorrow.
oldé tbh. I’ll order you a zimmer

Old, man chill out so what if you hit 30 just because other people feel that 30 is over the hill doesn’t mean you have to agree with them. Do what you want, how you want, for as long as you want and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

Aye Chris, you’re right but it’s not a case of stopping doing something because people believe you’re too old for it, it’s more a physical “can my body take many more years of this” kind of thing. I guess I’ll just have to see :)

Yeah I know Nick, but as soon as you stop riding you’ll find something which you can get into, hell maybe you’ll learn to play your guitar better and get into music. U just don’t know, people get depressed thinking about what they can’t do in the future but rarely think of the good things life throws at you. More often than not when you look back at things they worked themselves out and you’re thinking why the hell did shit like that stress me out?
Just don’t worry about it, it’ll sort itself out and you’ll find something rewarding to do!
