SHE’S STILL YOUNG
There is a strange space somewhere in your mid-to-late twenties where you don't quite feel young anymore, but you certainly don't feel old.
You know your age. You say it out loud. And somehow, you still have a hard time believing it belongs to you.
She's Still Young lives in that in-between.
She still does her makeup with the little flick at the end of her eyeliner. She wears plenty of mascara, perhaps enough to disguise the late nights, the sadness, the uncertainty, and the nights when sleep never really came.
Maybe she's a student.
Maybe she works.
Maybe she does neither.
Maybe she somehow does both.
We don't really know.
What we do know is that she is trying to understand this peculiar stage of womanhood, when youth hasn't disappeared, but it no longer feels effortless. Sometimes she finds herself trying to look younger, feel younger, or hold onto versions of herself that suddenly don't seem so far in the past.
And yet, despite everything she thinks she should have figured out by now, she is still young.
Perhaps you know her.
Perhaps she is you.
