Here's what life feels like when you get my age...

You have to choose between salon stylings and cigarettes, since you can't afford both.  You realize your preference for not wearing a bra is aeshcetically preceded by well lined camo-prints. You don't have much patience for adults who freak out over mosquito bites, and you develop a LOT of patience in a caring doc whom you can trust to safely guide you through your ailments.

That being said, contest's judged.  Once again was a huge pleasure for me to read your work.
Namaste!N
