Growing older When we are very young, it seems to us we have a lot of time. People elder than us seems very old to our eyes (expression that I traslated from Italian, but I don't know if it is used in English.) I remember a thing that happened when I was 14. A 18 y.o. girl came in our group of friends, but she seemed too old to me. It is strange to think how much a 18 yo girl seems very young to me, now. The unusual thing is that as you grow older, everything appear normal to you. I admit that I'm learning about myself and life, so I can say it is worth of it, but when I see myself at the mirror...well, sometimes I need one moment to realize who is that woman! :D

Growing older

When we are very young, it seems to us we have a lot of time. People elder than us seem very old to our eyes (expression that I traslated from Italian, but I don't know if it is used in English.) I remember a thing that happened when I was 14. A 18 y.o. girl joined my group of friends, but she seemed much older than us. It is strange to think how much a 18 yo girl seems very young to me, now. The unusual thing is that as you grow older, everything becomes normal to you.( or you could say here: age becomes relative)  I admit that I'm learning about myself and life, so I can say it is worth of it,( I don't understand what you mean here) but when I see myself in the mirror...well, sometimes I need one moment to realize - who is that woman! :D

Growing older

When we are very young, it seems to us we have a lot of time. People older than us seem very old in our eyes (expression that I translated from Italian, but I don't know if it is used in English.) I remember something that happened when I was 14. A 18 y.o. girl became part of our group of friends, but she seemed too old to me. It is strange to think how an 18 yo girl seems so very young to me now. The unusual thing is that as you grow older, everything appears normal to you. I admit that I'm still learning about myself and life, so I can say it is worth it, but when I see myself in the mirror..... well, sometimes I need one moment to realize who that woman is!

Growing older

When we are very young, it seems to us we have a lot of time (all the time in the world). People oelder than us seems very old (elder has limited use in English) in to our eyes (expression that I traslated from Italian, but I don't know if it is used in English -- yes, but with a different preposition.) I remember a thing that happened when I was 14. A 18 y.o. girl joined came in our group of friends, but she seemed too old to me to be part of our group. It is strange to think how much a 18 yo girl seems very young to me, now. The unusual thing is that as you grow older, everything appears normal to you. I admit that I'm learning about myself and life, so I can say it (what is it?  growing older?  learning?) is worth of it (what is it?  growing older?  learning?) , but when I see myself in at the mirror...well, sometimes I need one a moment to realize who is that woman is! :D
