I’m 14 years Old (not really…)
Yes it is possible to play paintball in New Zealand. And yes it is possible that I’m still 16 years old. Although I’m 20. But sometimes it doesn’t feel like it. I don’t think I’ve ever actually FELT my age as it actually is. If I ever do, it’s the day before my birthday and i get all messed up again. I think when people ask me how old i am i still say 18. I don’t think i was ever even aware of being 19, just kind of went straight to 20. I have a friend from Woodstock that once told me that there are really only 8 ages. Basically, what you do, is break up the years into blocks of 7 years. So the first age is when you are 0-7 years old. the second is when you are 8-14 etc. And if you think about it, they make sense. For example, from 0-7 nothing is really going on inside your head besides food, fun, food, sleep, cry, food. (some might argue this is still the case for them…) Anyway, then from 8-14 is when things start to happen, you start to actually form, get a personality etc. Then 14-21 is a special age for sure. but you keep this pattern going and each age (group) makes sense when you think about it. but when you get to 49 you stop. 50 becomes the beginning of your second life pretty much. no more breaking it up, it’s just 50—to whatever. that was this guy’s theory anyway and i liked it. I think this is why i never actually feel a difference between being 16 and 20 for example. cause it’s all in the same group. i guess i’m almost at the end of this grouping, maybe 22 will feel pretty wierd. but that’s more than a year away so who knows.
