The issue of reduction of age is common nowadays cause almost everyone doesn't want to grow old, we all want to be forever young which is not possible. In almost every sector of work you find one or two people involve in it, people prefer *de-aging* which they termed *football age*. The major reason is that people want to stay longer in a position or want to enjoy certain privileges that those that are much younger are enjoying.

*Although one might see the opportunity as been amazing for one to be younger and go back to ones past life. But for me I will love to continue like this and let the past remain in the past. I'm a being who loves to progress and doesn't like retrogression at all.*  

*All through my journey in life, I've been enveloped with God's grace, I have the privilege during my childhood to be one of the luckiest girl to have parents that cater for all my needs, so I'm been brought up with care and love which helped me grown to the lady I am today.*

Though I didn't have it all rosy, I had and still having some challenges but the journey had been fun and filled with grace and thanksgiving unto God. So for me, I believe I don't have any reason to feel my past is the best and wish to have the privilege to go back to it. My present is much better and I believe the future will be much more better than my present if I learn from the past. 

Almost everyone have one or two regrets from the past because the stages of life are filled with both ups and downs. We must surely have something to correct, so will you now continue to live in the past? Absolutely NOT! Cause if one should continue living in the past mistakes, there won't be avenue for growth at all. The second chance will only be spent on righting ones error and there won't be ending to it.

The truth about life is that we are all Journeyers who live for awhile on earth, no matter the set time for us to return to our maker we must surely leave without questioning the creator's decision. So why not continue to live in the Present and let your daily living be in appreciation to your maker for been alive and also asking daily for His guide so as to have a fulfilled life. 

*Therefore for me, I want to continue living in the present so that I will continue growing to become a lady of virtue. I love my life like this and I'm gracefully aging, so I never want to look back for any reason*. ***If I have the opportunity to become younger than I am presently I will not do it.***
