Such A Fraud

[poliphilo]

This business of being old, of having aches and pains and no energy and looking forward to afternoon naps- it's all put on, you know.  It's a pretence; I'm just acting a part. Why, all I need to do is tear off the mask, shrug off the costume and I'll be myself again...

Yes, that hits the nail on the head.

There's a part of every person that feels ageless- that is as surprised to be young as it is to be old.

In this case I am worried only about time, which runs faster and faster...with every year...

You certainly manage without the snoozing when we are away or out for the day. I think part of it is just filling the time - days are long things when you're tied to the house by your Ma and me. xx

Yeah, well...

Snoozing is good.....

Occasionally get aches and pains and fatigue , but when it goes away again and i feel a sprightly 21 year old again!!!

Have you considered the rather wonderful fun of fursuiting? ^_^
