I've grown up a little bit. I'm almost 40 years old now. But everyone was introduced to me when I was 18 and I looked like I was 15. I've been around a long time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People have always told me I look young for my age... and I think it's because I've always taken care of myself.
When I was eleven years old, I basically looked the same as I do now.
That's been the tragedy of my life, actually. I've always looked younger than I am.
I had a great time in my youth and I still feel youthful. I've no desire to look as though I'm in my 20s.
I spent the first fourteen years of my life convinced that my looks were hideous. Adolescence is painful for everyone, I know, but mine was plain weird.
I look young. I heard this said so often that it became irritating. I once worked as a babysitter for a woman who, the first time we met, said she didn't want somebody in high school. I was 22. Later, I realised that in certain places being female and looking 'young' meant it was more difficult to be taken seriously, so I turned to make-up.
When I was 18, and my looks were what I was - and all that I was - it did feel very limiting.
I was born looking older - and I've been aging since I was a teenager.
Some people still see me as a kid, but I'm a 23-year-old woman now.
I look younger; I feel younger. I'm in no rush to grow up or seem older to people.
