1. How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
Recently someone online asked me how old I was. This isn't new, and it's not something I particularly mind, though I usually counter it with "How old do you think I am?" In this case the person responded with 'No more than 27 ..." That made me think about this question.
Apparently, I don't 'act my age' - whatever that means. After all, what does it mean to act a particular age? How should a twenty-something act? How should a forty-something act? I complain a lot that I'm 'old' .. but I'm kidding most of the time. Nevermind the fact that I sometimes think about the fact that I am older now than my mother was when she had my baby brother. I don't really think that I'm old.
Why should I? True, my husband and I lead pretty dull lives compared to others. The height of excitement for us this past weekend was driving around to junk stores, and sitting down together and enjoying a night of crafty fun. but does that make me old? No, it just makes me dull. It also is what I really enjoy. Sure, I might talk big game about the life I used to lead .. but honestly, I don't think that life is sustainable.
So how old would I be if I didn't know how old I was? I would have to go with what that person guessed. I feel .. most of the time .. like I'm a twenty-something, just getting started on the real journey of her life. Add to that the fact that despite being married for almost 10 years hubby and I still act playful and silly an awful lot, It's like we're still both very young.
Now, if I could just get back the body I had at 27.
Hey now, that weekend time with hubby doesn't sound dull! It's what you guys love to do! Glad you're having fun with each other, no matter what you're doing. :)
