What age do you feel on the inside?
Actually, this is a complicated answer for me. Numerically I'm 31. My body probably feels 40. My face is still 29 (or at least I think so). My mind is a toss up. When I was in my 20's I felt like I was in my 30's, because that's who I was influenced by and who I hung around. Now, that I'm in my 30's, my S.O. is 8 years younger than I am. I'm influenced by his music and therefore feel a connection to today's youthful culture. As a beauty enthusiast, I stay up on makeup and skincare trends in order to better serve my clients. So, I've applied a more youthful look into my everyday face. There are times when I feel like I haven't fully matured due to an unchecked learning disability. Arrested development. Everyday, I'm relearning something my ADD helped me ignore while growing up. I'm experiencing firsts as a 30+ year old adult, because my past marriage left me in a place where I wasn't allowed to make decisions. Can you imagine, my first time shopping for groceries, alone, was at 27 going on 28? I spent hours trying to navigate the store with my list. It still takes me forever today. With all of this said, I still feel like my mind is 20, but I have the responsibility ofa 30 something year old, and the experiences of a 40 something year old. I said it was difficult. As I age, I want to stay this young mentally. At 20, you're full of hope and ambition. You're still inquisitive and open to knew adventures and experiences. How old do you feel on the inside?
