I read a romance short story over tea break this morning. Back off, I can read what I want and it's been that kind of a week. Despite this being merely Tuesday.
Anyway, read the story and then the introduction. An introduction where the author explains that she was asked to write a story about and for older women. And the heroine is my age. Great googly moogly.
It's so horridly depressing when what you're reading considers your age old. I was reading "Catching Fire" and the heroine was talking about this older woman, and then said, "I think she's about thirty." That's when I threw down the book and started to cry.
ReplyDeleteYou're only as old as you feel. Of course that means I'm roughly 74.
ReplyDeleteYou old people are just breaking my heart, ya know.
