I am Lisa Youth is a good thing I guess, unless -- It becomes the lens through which you are seen. Then -- Your ambitious ideas are youthful, not wise Your wittiness is immaturity, not humor Your springy-step is young bones, not joy in living. Youth is a good thing I guess, but better, authenticity. I am who I am, 20 or 60. My age affects me, but my age isn't me. I am who I am.

Reflections on Youth - 12/21/05
I am Lisa Youth is a good thing I guess, unless -- It becomes the lens through which you are seen. Then -- Your ambitious ideas are youthful, not wise Your wittiness is immaturity, not humor Your springy-step is young bones, not joy in living. Youth is a good thing I guess, but better, authenticity. I am who I am, 20 or 60. My age affects me, but my age isn't me. I am who I am.
