As I See The World

I was talking with a relitive today about old times with my grandfather,and my family and we started talking about life and how we grow up in it.

I started tell this relative of mying how at least how i seen the world around me when i was growing up and how I see it now. I told this relative how when i was growing up before my teen years i though WOW  i can not wait till i am in my teens,then once i hit 13 year that was a great year but it was just there just like any other year.

Then,once i was close to 16 i though ok cool now i can drive a car and that will be great,but after i had drove for a few mounts and,now years the times that i think back to it im like wow,why was i so excited to turn 16.

18  for me was the same way. The only thing different for me was that i was legal and i was in school.
And as you guessed,21 was basically the way 18 was .

So,why is it that before i  started my teen years i seen this big world that we live in so huge. I mean from the day i was born till i was 12 years old i felt this world was like disney world,with  stores that had everything in them to big signs that lit up and then from 13 to 21 yes they were great memories but the world too me did not seem so big.

So,why is that ,why is it that when we are little that the world seems.so big,then when we get older it seems a little bit smaller?

Dont get me wrong,.I still love this big old crazy world that i live in and would not trade what memories i have or are making but i just seems weird to me how in my eyes this world goes from huge to small and now to medium..

Please let me know how many of you all  feel this way and what you all think of this.
