Description

Youthfulness is not just about how many years you have lived. It is a quality that shows itself in energy, brightness, and a sense of freshness that can appear at any age. Think of a grandmother who still loves to dance, or a person whose face and attitude seem full of life. It is often linked to physical signs like smooth skin or bright eyes, but it can also mean a playful spirit, an open mind, and a readiness to try new things. A city being renewed may seem to have regained this quality, and a person who stays hopeful through hard times may show it inwardly too.
