"Youth is wasted on the Young"...or maybe not

Lucky for me, I spent sometime recently with a very special person in my life.  My first crush.  A best friend.  A supportive and loyal confidante, JD.   A person who no matter the time which passes, it seems like no time has passed at all when we get together. Still, there is so much to talk about we need hours on end.  We are topic jumpers from dating, to career and school, to great literature and philosophies, fashion (this is one dude who knows style and fashion - love it!) and finally to living life.  It seems as we get older we are on a "parallel" track.  Both 30.  Feeling compromised between our youthful old life styles and the onset of adulthood.  If you happen to know that feeling, it is amazing to have a friend to connect with at this level and this in addition to the afore-mentioned charming qualities!

Anyhow, J.D.  said to me  "Do you know George Bernard Shaw?"
I mean DUH, do't you remember I studied Literature/Writing in College.  "Right, Right, well, he once said "Youth is wasted on the Young.""

Well, Jess I remember he also said:
"Life isn't about finding yourself.  Life is about creating yourself."


and more importantly


"the only service a friend can really render is to keep your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you an see a noble image of yourself."

George Bernard Shaw, Irish Playwright & winner of the Nobel Peace Prize

“The only service a friend can really render is to keep your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself”


 I have that type of friend in JD and we have a lot of adventures to pursue this year while we are still enjoying the prime of our youth!
