LOVE IS WHERE YOU FIND IT
LOVE IS WHERE YOU FIND IT
As a teenager I was conditioned to look for females in my age group or within my class, or one nearby. As a consequence of this, older females were "verboten," most younger ones, were too. So I bypassed many opportunities, that I now know were overtures to me. Alas , alack! So it comes and goes!
Now. That I am much older, more worldly, I realize that love is where you find it, to quote a favorite song.
This point was especially brought home by a certain slave narrative describing the successful escape of a husband and wife to Canada, where the wife was 20 years older than her husband! Talking about age differences! But maturity is maturity, at whatever age it exists.
