what is it to feel old? lack of energy and vitality?
what is it to feel young? full of energy and vitality?
mmmm...
I have felt both at all ages. I am really trying to define this.
As a youth worker I feel it is about mindset and it is society that places expectations on us. Where and why did this happen?
Is it connected to responsibility? some young people have enormous responsibilities and they are often percieved as mature and vice versa.
I was a very different person at 21 but I can only think that it was lack of experience that made me different despite being a mum of two.
I thought of older people as being perfect and that everyone hit a certain age and they become good. If only.
