Many are very scared to grow old, but stereotypes can ruin our lives, there are bonuses that come with age. Someone is struggling to hide their age, put on a ton of makeup, paint over gray hair. And someone calmly accepts their years, and they can only be envied. After all, you can grow old without corrals, but beautiful and calm!
Why spend half of your life trying not to get old, because old age will win anyway? Why can't you just admit defeat and enjoy life? Why do women constantly pretend to be more relaxed in bed, more sociable, more stylish and younger? They spend tens of thousands of hours painting over gray hair, weighing, choosing stylish anti-aging clothes, and makeup. Stop it, stop!
Here's what one American blogger and stunning beauty has to say about this.
“I just stopped dyeing my hair a year ago, that's it, I'm tired of it! I began to eat what I like, I only make sure that the food is varied, complete and tasty, and I do not care about the fact that I gained 10 kg. I quit going to the fitness club, and only run in the park in the morning, because I like it more. I stopped buying a lot of expensive cosmetics because I only need toner, mascara and an eyebrow pencil to create makeup.
I'm 52 now, but I feel like I'm 30. Yes, I see that I have wrinkles, excess weight, skin pigmentation, but I'm not talking about my appearance, but about my state of mind. I just stopped chasing youth, I accepted my age. Yes, I look 52, but I feel 30, period!
And I'm too old to:
To be silent
I am not silent if I have something to say. And I'm not afraid that someone will not understand me, that they will somehow think wrong about me. These are their problems, but not mine!
Worry about the way i look
I absolutely don't care how I look. I try to be attractive to myself, not to the public. I can go out without ironing and with a dirty head. For example, my husband invited me to a cafe, but I did not have time to prepare an outfit and get my hair done. Well, so what, I'll go as it is. Who should I show off to? My husband saw me like this in the morning, don't I care what people at the next table think of me?
Have weaknesses
I do not consider them weaknesses, these are my desires. I love listening to rock, I love reading novels and watching horror. These are my desires and I will realize them.
Wear uncomfortable shoes
The era of tall heels is over for me. Why do they need me, so that 2-3 passers-by are surprised how I am a woman over 50 continue to flaunt in such shoes? And for the sake of such views, I have to endure pain, chafing? My legs are more important to me than the fact that I hurt someone's aesthetic sense!
Apologize for the mess
My home is my home, and I don't have to keep it clean. If there is a mood - I will clean up, if it is not - I will not.
Gather a crowd of friends
If I want to meet a friend, I make an appointment with her. And I don’t get excited about the fact that if I called one, then you need to call the second one, and the third one will also have to be called, only with my husband. I do not care!
Hoarding trash
I stopped saving up all sorts of trash in case "suddenly comes in handy." If I don't know why I need this thing now, then it goes to the trash can.
Be optimistic
I will not waste my time with people who do not deserve it, I do not hope that someone will change, and I do not believe that there is something good in every person. Maybe this is so, but why should I wait when I see a person with a positive side? Why would I waste time on this?
I am old for many things. But I am happy, because I realized in time that it is impossible to live the way I do not want, and I am not going to die unhappy! "
Or maybe the woman is right? All our life we try to please someone, even ourselves, rejuvenating, painting, dressing up in stylish clothes. Or maybe it's time to accept yourself and your age, and just enjoy life? What do you think?
