Girl / Lady / Woman / Female

I wanted to share some information with you about myself but I was stuck on how to do it. I wrote 'I am a 27 year old female'. I didn't like the word 'female', it seemed so medical. Then I wrote, 'I am a 27 year old woman'. I erased that too, feels so old. I am simple and fun loving, not some uptight business woman or something like that. Lady seemed like the next choice but was too prissy. The only other word I could think of was 'girl' but I certainly should have outgrown that label by now. Even if kids are always asking me if I am an adult or how come I am not a "real" grownup (more on this another time).



So, here's what I came up with............ I am 27 years old, and for now, I refuse to categorize myself with the terms currently available here in the US. Maybe in the future, I will feel more like a 'woman' or I'll want to be more 'lady'-like but for now those just aren't me. Maybe others feel this way, maybe others don't. Either way, it doesn't matter to me.
