I remember being young and cocky once...
Well, not necessarily cocky. A bit high strung is a better term.

And now that I'm a bit older, it is a bit vexing to be on the receiving end of another young, cocky female who talks to me like I haven't lived a day past ten. I do count the minutes, months, and years, to the inevitable time when she'll acquire a taste for reality, and modesty.

Three cheers for the young and cocky! May the ego boost be joyful, and the reality check be merciful.

3. Exercise will improve the oods;
just started myself.

Probably not too late to reverse the damage over time.

Chiropractors can go twist their own necks too.

5. I really never was young and cocky.
So does that mean I can be older and cocky now? :shrug:

I was modest and humble when it was fashionable to be aggressive and cocky to make your way in the world. Now that I'm older I find myself slowly coming out of that shell.

7. I've been inside myself for so long I can't go back in,
not like I was, that's for sure. Yeah, it is amazing. I'm pushing myself out to places I've never been before.
Thanks for saying that. I follow your struggles here too. I can relate.

:hi:
