Hi there, I have recently taken up swimming as a hobby - do you like to swim?

I remember I woke up in the morning and the whole though of my youth trying to be taken away from me [was overwhelming]. Not youth as in my age—youth as in my love, my happiness, my joy, my purity. It's not even about age; you could be 50 and your youth is there,
