"We set down these arbitrary age-markers for ourselves and others, as if destiny and fate work to the schedule we dictate. Life doesn't change at the turning of each decade. Life wends and winds and morphs itself around the little moments of each day. It's only on looking back that we compartmentalise it all and say, "Yes. That is who I am. It's all so clear and set in stone now." Of course it isn't clear. Neither is it set in stone. It never was.
And it's far more fun to refuse to ever let it be set than to simply succumb."
