eternal youth
Never growing old
Eternal youth is the state of remaining young forever, a fantasy appearing across mythology, literature, and modern culture.
The fountain of youth promised it; vampires supposedly possess it.
In practical use, eternal youth often describes efforts to preserve youthful appearance: She spent a fortune chasing eternal youth.
The phrase can also suggest immaturity that persists inappropriately: His eternal youth meant he never took responsibility for anything.
