After I perm my hair, I stared myself in the mirror one day and suddenly realised I'm TWENTY. Yes. 20. It suddenly hit on me that I've hit the 2, starting to get old, hitting the prime age and it also implies that I have to start taking care of myself. Mum always ask me to do this and that when I'm young so that when I hit the 20-somethings, I won't suffer. And now that I've sped past the 1s and hit the 20-somethings, I suddenly realise that what I didn't do then will start to have repercussions on me now. Ha. I've already begun to do my hair. Get a change, make-over and make myself look older. Something that I'd always wanted to do. Then I started noticing my face, eyebrows, nails, skin...there's so much more to do. Not that I wanna look young, youthful or the never-grow-old kinda mindset but that I need to take care of myself! I need to start taking care by using better beauty products, moisturers, take more notice, watch out for tell-tale signs...Hmm. Am I becoming vain? I hope not. It's just that, image matters now. So does health. And I'm TWENTY! I really gotta do something about it. Don't you think so? Else, life will speed past again and soon I'll hit thirty with wrinkled face, not so young look and a time of no-return. In my 20s, though it's neither too old nor too young, I hope to really do the things I can do and shld do--all the adventures, travels, mountain climbing, runnning a distance, touring...that's the adventure of a lifetime that one can keep and look back saying that I didn't waste the youth God gave me. The energy and the vigour... --------------------------------- |
