Illo Friday: Aging Alone
music: The Beach Boys - I Know There’s An Answer
This week’s topic at 
is Aging. Strangely, i seem to have a different interpretation of this word. Aging for me is not only being physically old but how one grows up to be more mature.
There are people who, no matter what their age, seemed to enjoy themselves and act jolly like a child, while others act as if they have the world on their shoulders which make them look older than they really are. Others tho, take things too immaturely while others take things too seriously. This may be the spice in life for them, and not for some.
But its your decision whether or not you remain to be the same old person all these years, or take the plunge.. be crazy and dive into the water like a child! Isn’t it that we only have one life? Would you waste it and wait for nothing when you can instead do something?

note: As like last week, i made two illos again. Please visit my twisted blog for my first contribution on Aging.. and read a poem that goes with that.
I'd like to go ... go ... see what I can find I'd like to get ... out of here ... just leave it all behind ... I'd like to visit all the pictures I have in my mind
It makes me feel alright when I see how they shine
Somehow I always get it wrong
I guess I knew all along

I like your dark choice of colors…and the look of the white lines on the dark gray background. Your interpretation of aging is a little less obvious than the one that struck me initially. But I like it….

Nice art there velvetzki, and I luv the thoughts. It’s part of being normal I guess, there are times that we usually caught in between.
