Lately, an outing with one of my girl friends has enlightened me that no matter how much I want to deny it, I have indeed… matured (definitely a much better and kinder word than aged).
We both agreed that we have, unknowingly, transcended unto a whole new level. A level where aimlessly walking around in shopping malls becomes tiresome. Window shopping becomes meaningless unless there is an object of desire in mind. Afternoon tea where we can just sit, chat, sip on coffee, and nibble on snacks is definitely much preferred when we hang out. Our poor legs just couldn’t stand the arduous activity of walking. Our physical energy does not permit us to do so.
To put it nicely, it just means we now simply take a liking to the lifestyle of a slower pace… even ‘taitai-ish’ if you want to describe it that way.
Nope, we have not become old. We have only matured to be on a different level altogether. To those who would like to join in on our afternoon teas, welcome. To those of you who still have the energy to explore the countless shopping malls in this little city and are tireless from a whole afternoon of walking around from shop to shop, good for you!
