starting over

was just reading a friends' review of the film, benjamin button. made one remember one of the lines used in the film. it was during one of the voice-overs when benjamin's daughter was reading one of his letters.

For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you.I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

starting all over again. it's one of those things that seems only the young can do. maybe because they have the remaining time. maybe that's why i admire people who despite being in their 30's, 40's, or 50's can start all over again. they've maintained not only their zest but their youthful spirit.
