I'm 56. Yesterday, it seems, I was 25. I won't say something so cliche as "Where did the time go?" because I know exactly where it went. It went into living life as fully as possible within the limits of my station. I have no regrets. My life has been an adventure, and of course there is more still to come.
I'm inspired reading the blogs of the young women who grace this site so intimately. Sadness, joy, adventure, it's all there and more, emotions bared. It's truly brave to share like that. To be vulnerable is human and none so more human than the young.
I've been silent as a member until now, but no more. I've a lot to say and what better place to say it than here amongst the beautiful, the creative, the thoughtful, intelligent young people of Suicide Girls.
