I happened across the "Twilight" series of books. Fell in love with the story - I'm after all a complete sucker for romance. I picked up the phone to a good friend of mine in London to tell her about Twilight. I was astonished by her response - "That's a children's book! (and then in a much light-hearted tone) I forbid you to read anymore! ;-)"
It then struck me - at what stage in our lives do we decide we're too old? Too old to wear certain clothes, watch certain movies, read certain books and hang out at certain places? Or is it just the pressures of society that give us a false sense of security in an obscure "norm"?
It's the whole nature vs. nurture argument all over again. But no matter which way we spin it, we ARE influenced but the society we live in. And those brave enough to stop worrying about what others think of them and start worrying what they think of others have achieved a great freedom.
---RANT END---
What has age got to do with it anyway, it's for each one of us to decide when we have passed the twilight of our youth...
Till then, I'm climbing back in bed with the sequel: "New Moon" :-)
