A Magical Moment
You know what I want to experience? Well here, let me tell you.
When a girl is young, perhaps while in high school, it is a compliment to tell her she looks old for her age. If such a comment is made about a girl, she will feel happy because it is a good thing to look older.
However, when a girl is older, perhaps getting into her late twenties, it is the opposite; now it is a compliment to tell her that she looks young. The whole structure is turned upside down.
This means that there must a moment, a very precise instant in time, in which a girl is the exact right age. That is what I want to witness. Talking to a girl in conversation, it may so happen that the moment passes by where she achieves the pinnacle of beauty in her life.
I wonder what happens. Perhaps it is like when The One Ring is cut off of Sauron’s finger and a wave of energy knocks all the people down in the vicinity. Or maybe she glows for an instant. Or maybe, just maybe, if it happens at the right time of day, and the sun is at the right angle, a million colors will illuminate the sky with a majestic and overwhelming display which lasts for only a few brief moments.
It must be something special, but who knows—and that is why I want to experience it myself.

Ha, I’ve never noticed that women are always too young or too old… Great observation, good luck! =) God Bless!

Such a pretty thought!
I like it.
In fact I like it so much that I encourage you to develop that thought into something. Short story, poem, whatever, but use it! It’s too good to leave languishing on Xanga forever…
I think this happened to me the day I turned 16.

I am 18 and I like it for once.

Thanks for the encouragment . . . I think I will take that advice. I actually hadn’t thought about that, but I think you are right. Grazie.
I saw your footprints on my page. so i decided to leave some on yours.
I’m 21, and finally getting to be ok with my age. I think I’ll like 25 best though. Maybe all the way up to 28.

There’s still the potential for “glowing for an instant” well past your twenties. Or, at least, I sure hope so.
I like this thought. I believe that this “moment” has to happen sometime between 18 and 22. Though I do believe it can vary greatly from woman to woman.
