The Illusion of Eternal Youth: A Costly Chase
We admire it, we celebrate it, we chase it. Youth. The idea that we can stretch its glow indefinitely, that we can outrun time itself, is intoxicating. Yet, in that pursuit, something essential slips through our fingers—something deeper, richer, more meaningful.
