Youth is always beautiful when you become a woman of "a certain age". Why don't we understand that when we are young, or is that a rhetorical question ...
Physical beauty is just genetic roulette. True beauty comes with age, experience and wisdom. Do I wish I had fewer lines on my face? Sure. Would I trade the experiences that put them there? Never.
When I was young, I felt largely unfinished. While I can admit to still being a work in progress, I feel more real today than I did then....closer to who I am.
About Six-Word Questions
SMITH Magazine brings you an entirely new kind of six-word experience: Six-Word Questions. This is the place to pose a question to the SMITH community from, "What are your favorite Six-Word quotations" to challenging members to pen Six-Word Obituaries to the recently departed to Six-Word jokes and any other Six-Word question you can dream up. You can even request that the responses be in six words. Everyone has a question—what's yours?
