Forever Young

"Let no one despise you for your youth,
but set the believers an example
in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity."

A few weeks ago, I turned another year older.

You know how friends or family members sometimes playfully tease you on your birthday, just to highlight the fact that you're getting OLDer?  That's normal and there's no harm intended in the teasing.  ^^

I face this too.  In addition to that, I also face something almost in contrary to this matter.  *Ironic, ironic*  Those who aren't aware of my actual age, as well as those who already know me well, mostly do not believe me when I 'declare' how old I currently am.  From my past experiences so far, a lot of them usually guessed that I should be about 3, 4, or 5 years younger than my real age.  *Hey, they said so, okay. :3*

It's probably because of the combination of my petite figure, erm...babyface(?) look, and sometimes child-like personality.  LOL~  I don't  know...that's just my wild guess.

Anyway...
My point is, regardless of how we appear to look like, be it younger than our age or more matured than our age, it's sometimes out of our control.  Make-up, hairstyle, and fashion style can change that but they are all temporary.  You are who you are.  Remember that what's more important is what you have to offer, coming from within you - hardwork, sincerity, kindness, passion, etc.

So, be grateful of however you may look like (as long as it's presentable enough for specific occasions).  Focus more on your inner values.  Chewah~
