Thanks for the definition. However i was more asking about a personal experience- is this/was this how it feels to be young to you?

Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true.
Niels Bohr (1885 - 1962), to a young physicist

so young is when you have crazy theory, crazy ideas, you understand for few minitues that it is far from being true and great, but you still eager and want to bealive it is gonna be something worthy.

Mentally it is "I won't go that way!"

Physically... I almost forgot...

Red Stone, for one thing, feeling young does not have to do with age

i wouldn't say it is feeling carefree.. probably "free" is the word that describes it best.

Well if your wisely means according to the rules, I don't agree! That way you are old at the age of 5 or less...

I didn't really have any specific age group in mind- too banal a phrase, age being more of a state of mind, or heart or spirit... I just wanted to see how it is with the others, when looking back at past one says to himself- i was young then. How it feels when suddenly one realises that one particular phase or state is gone and you no longer can or would do things you used to do. For me it was when i realised i can no longer afford being stupid... That i can no longer be carelessly recklessly and selfishly happy like i once was or could afford to be... That i no longer search for the truths or meanings or absolutes. When looking back at past i say "oh god" but at the same time feel nostalgic?

At the same time i am so curious to know how it feels for others. What it's like for them being young. how it feels to be young at the moment, or felt back then, you know what i mean?

When do you come to the realisation that you're no longer free?
Not free because of circumstances than anything else.
Not free because of certain boundaries that you come to set for yourself.
Is this loss of freedom a sign of ageing?

Well... now I think I can conclude that you don't follow the rules...

am I right?

It depends on the kind of things you mean...

What's being stupid? Which standards did you use for putting such a stamp? Nika, you can never afford being stupid, according to your own standards! When you start using the society's standards, you'll be self-castrated, in other words, OLD!

Feeling nostalgic is not bat in itself... provided you continue fighting for recovering your self-respect. After all if you don't love yourself, now, who will???

Hugs!
