The Girl Who Does Not Age


At 16 years of age and weighing only 16 pounds, Brooke Greenberg has a previously-undescribed condition which in many aspects seems to show an absence of aging of the body.

She is infantile in size, but she does not have ordinary dwarfism. She still has her baby teeth. Her cognition is that of a child. Her bone age is only that of a 10-year old.

Curious! I hope they don't research fountain of youth based on her. Though death is a painful affair, being alive for a really long time is equivalent to a curse. Unless you are an elf! Wait a minute! Is she an elf!

If tomorrow was today, today would be yesterday...

One of my favourite songs by The Beatles. Pressure is in an all time high with stuff piling up left, right, and center. These are the times where you long for a better yesterday than a better tomorrow. If tomorrow was today, today would be yesterday, But I long for my yesterday, Your yesterday, And our yesterday.
