RE: Can you have a young body with an old soul? | LOH #265

It's interesting isn't it? I often meet young women and I marvel at their sometimes profound insights that I know I had no clue about at all at a comparable age and, equally, I like the wisdom and maturity that comes with being around for many years.

Knowing and understanding yourself has value, finding your place and how you want to live your life, and joy is absolutely a fulsome act of resistance.

In addition, the experiences that we have as women, whether it is loneliness and isolation or poverty and poor health or racism and sexism, are structural issues. They are the imposition of oppressive systems that favour some groups of people over others. Whether you feel older or younger is a moot question: more pertinent is whether every woman has what she needs to live a safe, fulfilling life at any age, however that is measured.
