mature & sexy

well, i have not really thought about it but hey, i am now (or rather, have been) in the category called "mature". lol... frankly, yes, i have been aware that i am considered middle-age but it was not something that i think about too much. ok, once a while, i do think about it... you know, down the hill, past the prime, sunset, etc... those common adjectives and phrases that one would use for people who are in the 40's... aka me. 

and then today, a couple of people send me messages in jack'd. these are people in their 20s/ early 30s. it was not common, in fact, very rare for me to get any message in jack'd in the first place. and the conversation with one of them went on to me asking "so what's your type?". and he replied mature and tone... and somewhere along the line, he added, you are really sexy. i almost fell of my chair (well, not literally of cos)! man, this was the first time someone ever used that term to describe me. i have never ever thought me sexy! haha... but well, it's very flattering i must say. 

anyway, back to the point about being mature. i do know of people who feel offended when they are referred to as mature. but for me, i am not bothered. maturity by age is a fact that i cannot change. but the last thing i would do is to place a negative judgment on that word. no point right? in fact, being at this age is very empowering. although i must say, i do have to constantly remind myself never to sound condescending when i interact with people younger than me.
