The secrets of Eternal Youth
Oct. 26th, 2009 03:16 pmI keep thinking from time to time that I am far from being a responsible grown-up that I am supposed to be according to calendar year. Some people at 33 were.. you know... and what do I do?
More often than not I feel that I stayed fifteen. Or eight. Or five. Depending on the mood.
What could be the reason for this? I asked myself in the moments of retrospection. And sure enough, I have a suitably weird answer for this.
You see, when I was fourteen, we traveled in Carpathian mountains - a group from my school, twenty kids and teachers. There were a lot of springs there. And a lot of local legends. Most legends told that the springs would bring eternal youth to anyone who drinks from them.
Needless to say we all drank A LOT.
Who knew the legends might actually be true?
