Women are a Christmas cake.

There's a notorious saying about women's value that I've heard from my friend; Women are like a Christmas cake. They both are precious until 25. Christmas cake becomes more valuable up to December 25th when it is needed, but after the Christmas is passed, it's value becomes nothing and it is needed from nowhere. Women, also gets prettier and prettier until 25 and men are eager to chase after them, but after their age of 25, they start to get older and to have new wrinkles. It really is an awful metaphor to make women's value as nothing after their age of 25. Now, I have reached my age to 22 in Korea. I am 21 in Vancouver age, but next year when I go back to Korea, I have to become 23! I believe that metaphor is just a piece of rubbish and the first person to have said that statement must have said it as just a joke. However, it already has came into my brain and it occupies a small part of the brain, and whenever I think about my age, I remind of the metaphor as well. The Sunlight in Vancouver is so strong, as strong as 7 times compared to that of Korea, I got some extra freckles, and I feel that my skin isn't as good as it was in my teenage! 

Would my value drop after age of 25? I hope, and believe not. I mean, there are tons of beautiful, successful, and stunning women who are over 25! I would like to just change the metaphor that women are a Christmas present. Their value do not drop just because it is the day after the Christmas. They get more valuable and more precious as time goes by because the present is something you receive from someone who cares about you. Women might lose their youth as well as beauty because that's what is called 'natural'. However, they get wiser and more elegant, which women didn't have in their younger lives. I will not be afraid of getting old and loosing my attractiveness because I am a Christmas present. :)
