Hey lovely people! Long time right? Well, I've been MIA (missing in action) for some reasons but I'm back now. Life really has a way of handing you some serious lemons but I've decided to make the sweetest lemonade out of mine. So, how have you been? Hope all is well and you're in good health.

Ok. On to the topic of the day. Age. How old are you? Lol! Most people dread that question especially ladies and I really don't blame them. In my opinion(I have lots of opinions abi?) I feel we should all be proud of how old we are but society has made it seem like a sin to age. Come on, we all want to be old and gray but we want to remain forever young. Remember Jay Z's song "Forever Young" featuring Mr Hudson? "I wanna be forever young..." I have to admit though, getting old is scary but its something that can't be evaded.




As a teenager I couldn't wait to be in my 20s. Now I'm in my 20s and I suddenly want to become a toddler again, not even a teenager. Let me be pampered and have no worries except sleeping, eating and playing. Haha! The demands of adulthood are so many but what can we do? You have to brace up and be an adult. Nobody cares anymore. You have to make things happen and I can sincerely tell you that being 20 something isn't so much fun. Expectations everywhere. But we're capable right? Yes, I'm capable.

You come across job vacancies and the age thing hits you again. "Candidate has to be 24-28..." Can we really blame those who celebrate their 26th birthday in 4 consecutive years? So if I'm 29 I won't be able to get the job done? That's age discrimination if you ask me.




A lot of ladies are in the habit of hiding their real age. When asked how old they are especially by a guy, some tend to pick offense or lie about it. Is it such a big deal? It doesn't make you less or more of a person. Does it? Does lying about it change the fact that you're still aging? Lol. Mind over matter. You shouldn't be judged by your age.

There's no manual that says at 21 you should be doing this and not that. I don't mean you should be nonchalant about issues just because you're 20 something, but once you have a sense of responsibility all else would flow.

Being "forever young" is all in your mind. It is a state of mind and not a state of being. After all, we all want to grow old and by God's grace we will not only age but age gracefully. As for me being asked my age, I'll gladly tell you because it's not a big deal.
