Forever young

A thought in the style of Jimmy Yetts and Andrew Mitchell

Drinking from the fountain of youth 

requires that one isn't swayed by 

what others think of the 'taste'...

very thought provoking ... and i believe quite true ...as we learn to accept our true selves ...what others think, takes the seat at the back of the line or i think you are right ..our health/youth suffers .. i like where your haiku-like, Mitchell/Yetts poem takes me :)

Hahah - a 'Mitchell-Yetts' it is !! Love it E!
If we are young-at-heart should we hide that in order to conform? no but the pressures from peers to 'behave' can make us unwilling and as you rightly point out - unwell.
Thank you for your thoughts E.
Much appreciated. :)

If you found it, who cares what people think. Live long and prosper. Well done short verse.

Hmm, an interesting one. Not sure how to interpret this. I don't disagree of course. And also, I drink some nasty tasting smoothies from time to time just to pretend I'm keeping my body young.

[Tony Jordan]

The youngster in the pic inspired this. I thought he's enjoying the taste of that and not bothered what anyone thinks maybe that's the secret of eternal youth.
My brother lives on smoothies and loves to see my face screw up when he offers them to me. I politely decline. His are always green and taste of yeuck.
Lol
Anyone who drinks those are brave in my book.
Thank you again Ana. It's always a pleasure to see you.

If you add tropical juice or fruit juice to them, or fresh fruit is even better, they taste ok.

[Tony Jordan]

Back in the day I would've drank up to six raw eggs and milk lol thinking I'd be like Sly Stallone - I guess they couldn't taste any worse than that lol.
Cheers for that tip.
I need detoxing badly. Lol

A short but true poem. One always must remember, that despite what others say, you must always be true to yourself. Follow who you want to be, and do what you enjoy. Others may find it strange, sure; this doesn't mean you shouldn't indulge in the beauty of freedom of action.

[Tony Jordan]

So true P. E.
I also think that life gets quicker as we pass the halfway point but peer pressures release somewhat and we care less what others think.
Thank you for an engaging review P. E.
I appreciate your visits.

I feel mind and heart are always young. And body follows these both. As long as people don't get carried away by the outer storms then this very title aptly fits to the very thought that you are conveying to us readers.
We all tend to think too much of what and how others perceive about us ! Very nice write ! Simple yet powerful.
Never kill the child in you no matter what !

[Hi]

This is deep, but has something simple to grasp as well while searching further. Thanks.

After an age we are expected to feel old, look old and behave old. Don't comply and be called a variety of names. You said it so well here Tony!

[Tony Jordan]

And yet... we can see the sparkle in the eyes of (most) peers of the older generation when one of their friends "misbehaves"... they live vicariously through them.
Thank you for you continued supportive reviews my friend.
You are appreciated.
