Hello, Word Artists and Admirers! Back in my twenties, I was always annoyed about how young I looked for my age. At almost 53, it bothers me less. Though sometimes I think the real secret to being perceived as being younger than I actually am is that I (not so) occasionally (and often quite obviously) indulge in things that make me feel young. Cloud gazing. Being delighted with the first butterfly of spring. Dancing to modern pop music with gleeful abandon. Being curious about what happens if I try something different, like getting a haircut with a new stylist. I think she did a great job.
So for this week's optional prompt, I would like you to consider the phrase "youth has no age". I'm taking prose and poetry, fiction and non-fiction. Just remember to keep your contributions to 369 words or fewer and one post per person, please.
Next week's optional prompt will ask you to consider a time you had to decide between two equally yummy options.
A great prompt and an absolutely adorable YOU!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Helen!
DeleteI agree - a really enjoyable prompt and you look great! Thanks Jae
ReplyDeleteAlways delighted to see your take on these.
DeleteI too have always been taken for younger than my years. When I was 22 and mistaken for 15, it was a real problem! Later on, not so much, lol. (And nowadays, no matter how much younger I may or may not look, it still counts as elderly! I just have to resign myself.) You are looking gorgeous, in any case. I think you always do!
ReplyDeleteOops, sorry, that was me (posting from a different browser).
DeleteAw, thanks Rosemary!
