Many people told me that I
was mad.
How could I think of going
around the world by myself?
As a woman?
Without much money?
At my age?
It was bad enough that some
people did not think I could
do this, because I am a
female, and would be
traveling alone, but did they
have to throw in my age? I am
not that young, but I am not
that old either. Actually, I
refuse to be old.
Where does it say that only
young people can backpack or
gallivant through the world?
I have a lot of energy and I am in great shape. Because I am a little
older, hopefully, I have more common sense. (Yeah, sure.)
However, what’s age?
Your chronological age?
Your mental age?
Your biological age?
Your physical age?
Age is just an abstract number.
We all have those different ages within ourselves.
Mentally I feel different ages depending on the situation. At some
moments I am twenty years old, at others I am twenty-eight years
old. Very seldom I feel all grown-up at thirty-plus. However,
when my daughter reprimands me for spoiling my granddaughter,
I feel like a 5-year old being sent to sit in the corner.
How old am I? It does not matter
Forget about the numbers. Just be you.
