Good day friends of weekend experiences, as part of week 241,our friend 
First the short answer, I have never and would never lie about my age. I have my 35 years well lived and full of anecdotes, an existence riddled with the desire to live energetically. And while I don't think age is a determining factor in whether or not to impress someone, I get a good laugh when I'm asked about the person I'm dating who is a little younger than me, I get a good laugh when I'm asked if I don't have children, or what I plan for my future.
Age should not limit these things, there will be someone happy and fulfilled having children at 20, and others maybe never. There will be happy people with a college degree on their record, and there will be me, without one and without the other haha It's just a number indicating how many times the earth has circled the sun since we've been on it. Some of us go slower on some issues and faster on others.

I have traveled, I have lived, I have worked on what I like and I have always kept myself as active in my mind, wanting new things, learning, and making my experience on earth, an exclusive party for me and a few, those who have the pleasure of having my friendship and my love, they know what kind of person I am.
Sometimes I refer to myself as 'Grandma Erika' because my friends are almost all younger than I am, and perhaps my spontaneity no longer takes me to places that are not nice. I can no longer party until 6 am dancing, drinking, or loud music and noise.I never really enjoyed it too much, so accepting that as something I don't want in my day makes my friends see me as the grandma of the group haha.When I go to parties because it's someone's birthday, all I need to stay is for the music to be more or less to my liking. Otherwise I would go to have a bad time and think about leaving haha.

But on the other hand, when someone doesn't know me that well and hears that this young lady calls herself a grandmother, they are surprised.I hear laughter and everything, at no time is it something either offensive or mean against myself. It's an inside joke, because people often say with confidence that I don't look my age. And I go back to the earlier point about age expectations. There are people 10 years younger than me, and 3 kids. They are much more surprised. I keep love and naivety in my life, or innocence as a twinkle in my eye that allows me to not think I know anything or take anything for granted and always learn from what the world throws at me.
I believe that living in this way allows me to always experience a certain joy, almost euphoric, with that experience that is approaching. If I go on a trip, even though I may be an expert in packing, I always enjoy it like the first time.I think that this 'reset' in my mind allows me not to be tied to past experiences and to be able to live it with the 'naivety' of someone who does not know what he is going to find and gives himself to the experiment.
There is also a certain security in me, a certain confidence where I know that, although I do not have the answers to everything that may happen, I know what my tools are to solve inconveniences or even face difficulties.This is an internal movement of emotions, because I would not know how to translate it into actions. I just throw myself into a new void, into a new experience, with the certainty that, if I fail, it will be great to be able to choose what to stay with and even to be able to experience it again with experience.As if it were the level of a videogame hahaha

Without having much more to tell you about my age and that I would never lie about it, I do want to say that I have been asked for the document for not believing me, that I have even been asked to lie for someone else and I have refused.Neither am I ashamed, nor do I have anything to hide.I am old enough to know that if you expect me to lie about something as minuscule as my age, you are surely projecting your insecurities onto me.They are much more surprised.
I send a big hug to all of you and wish you a beautiful weekend
Thanks for reading me, Kiki✨
