Pre-Birthday Anxiety is a big deal. Especially as you get older the countdown to the transition becomes more pronounced.
I remember as a child dreaming that in the year 2000 I'll be 18 and that all of the cars and hover boards from Back to the Future should be arriving.
That was a dream of mine, when I was around ten. Hoverboards! And now where did the love of the future go? The love of untapped potential.
It's gone, replaced with dread, a fear of the future, a fear that it will never get any better that it is all down hill from here.
But look at the world we live in, a billion screaming angry chinamen, total economic collapse, depression, oil death, global warming and Paris Hilton.
No wonder we refuse to age, we're programed to like what was and not look forwards.
