I feel very superfical talking about this, but I'm worried about getting old. I'm 25 right now and I just don't want to get wrinkles and gray hair. It's stupid, b/c it's inevitable unless I die first. But I don't want to be like older women who can't age gracefully, who get botox injections and plastic surgery. Does anyone else feel this way? I don't want to be all concerned about it, but I am. Our society sends out the message that the old are useless and once a woman starts showing any age, she's not beautiful anymore. What are your thoughts?
geezus... wot am i doing in this forum? this is trecherous ground.... but, as a bloke, i can say that worrying about ageing is just a waste of yer time...... age is age and it's gonna roll on regardless of how much you ponder it... enjoy it, it only happens once
i can relate. of course i see what society has done to women and i hate that women go to such lenghts of plastic surgery and botox to keep themselves looking younger. in a way it makes me feel like i have to keep up. i know thats entirely stupid....i am aware of that but i cant help it sometimes. my mother says i can condem botox all i want but untill i start to sag i wont understand. nobody wants to get old....its a horrible process. my mind says not to worry about and except it because its going to happen anyway but im not perfect and i do live in this world like everyone else and i do get insecure about getting old sometimes. mostly i just dont want to experiance health problems and death but the physical aspect also bothers me. whatta ya gonna do?
If you don't smoke or tan, you will not get as many wrinklers as someone who does those things. I think grey hair on a woman is beautiful. The more confidence you have in yourself, the more beauty you exude. It works with any age.
every now and then i get the same "fear" but it's more related to noticing that my body is degrading. though, if you age wisely and healthy, i'm sure there's nothing to fear. i find that the only reason i have apprehension about aging regarding looks and lifestlyle is that i'm not ready for it yet. i'm 21, and need to be 21 right now. when i grow older, i'll be ready and if i need to, i can consciously work on it. sometimes i see older women and think "i want to be like her, i can't wait". it can be a project of sorts. become your ideal old lady. hehe i wanna be wise and eccentric. http://dianavandenberg.no.sapo.pt/cronespage.htm i dunno.. i think it's beautiful. when i see women like this, i think of all things motherhood and wisdom. screw tight pink young attractivness, it's only good for shallow shit and casual sex. and if that's all life is to someone, i'm very very sorry...
i'm terrified of becoming a heavy older adult, but wrinkles and gray hair i'm ok with (actually i've already got gray hair- was born with a birthmark patch of gray). i want to be one of those beautiful old ladies with long wavy gray hair.
