CRYPTICLXVI -> RE: As you get older (3/22/2012 9:13:14 AM)
|
I am in my mid-forties and I wouldn't have believed that I would have gotten this old when I was in my twenties. I manage people, some in their twenties at work... and every now and then I get asked how old I am, a couple just look at me confused when they find out that my children are close to their age or that I have a grandchild. In many ways, I have come full circle to where I was twenty years ago, starting over, having nothing, moving back to the city I think of as home... and I look at things and sometimes I think that I am too old for this shit. Other times I shrug and realize that I am my self... and the body has some but not all to do with that. I am still very sexual, though that hasn't been part of the relationship I am leaving for a long time... and I do not see that ending. Sexual is more than the physical, way more... and when the body has issues with intercourse, I still expect the intimacy, the sensual, the intensity to be part of who I am. I may not have had the most responsible path taken but the journey doesn't stop because of some damned number assigned to me.
