I decided I would grow old with my head held high.

Our world is constantly changing, and with it we are changing. A few decades ago, people perceived senility in a negative way. Of course, this is especially true for women whose beauty fades over the years. But is that really true?



Today's edition. "Site" He will try to prove that old age does not equal weakness, unsightlyness and inner sadness. We will talk about why some women are proud to accept the ageing stage, while others are afraid of it. We will also share the wise thoughts of celebrities in this regard. It'll be interesting!

For years, society has imposed stereotypes about beauty and age. It so happens that these concepts are inextricably linked. In other words, the younger you are, the more beautiful and better you are. That is why for a long time women tried to do everything possible so that the reflection in the mirror did not cease to delight.

Where did all this come from? Oh, there's a place to go. First of all, remember, How they used to treat marriage and pregnancy. Almost since adolescence, girls dreamed of getting married as soon as possible. They say, then no one will take, the product is not the first freshness. And the kids? It was necessary to give birth before 30, because after 30 the world will collapse and all maternity hospitals will close.



Secondly, we must not forget about gender inequality. To break into people, before a woman had to be not only smart, but also beautiful. And beauty is for the young. So it turned out that the older a woman, the less chance she has of becoming happy in principle. And the eternal pursuit of youth and beauty, in fact, exhausting.

It seems that age has become a major problem in life. We often think negatively. What is the common phrase “lost years”? Why are they necessarily lost? Life is a series of losses and gains. Every year we live teaches us something, it is a truly invaluable experience. When you focus on one thing, you will miss many other important things.



Women used to be afraid of getting old because they didn’t want to lose their beauty. But it is not only in the external, but also in the internal. Imposed ideals of beauty create complexes. Beautiful nymphs for years trying to achieve perfect appearance. And for this you need only one condition: Just love yourself.

Sometimes you look at women who change themselves from A to Z, and it gets scary. Lips should be made fuller, because narrow ones look ugly. The bust is also better to increase, because men like it so much. Remove wrinkles, they give you age! How can we not lose ourselves in this endless cycle?

It is good that women’s attitudes towards age and beauty are changing. It is written on the Internet, it is discussed in social networks, shown in films and so on. All this would not have happened if the period of old age did not actually cause fear in people. But there is nothing to fear, because it is a natural process for both men and women.



Celebrities prove this by their own example. Moreover, they talk about aging openly, emphasizing only the best aspects of this process. Inspired by many wise thoughts, I am eager to share them with you.

English actress Helen Mirren says, “The best thing you can do when you’re 70 is to be over 70.” When I was 45, I was like, 'Fuck you!' In fact, you have two options: leave your life young or grow old. The first, of course, is kind of cool – a bit romantic. But soon you realize that life is too interesting, incredible, wonderful and full of emotions. All you have to do is find a way to deal with aging: psychologically and physically.

GettyImages, by the way. We age not only in our body but also in our soul. And these processes may not correspond to each other at all.

Italian actress and model Isabella Rossellini said: I am asked what I do to keep my youth. Nothing. I don’t think ageing is a problem. It strikes me that the process of aging is seen more as a physical decline when aging brings such freedom to life.”



GettyImages singer Stevie Nicks believes: It's important to keep your youth. I don't mean to always look 22, be intruded and be a caricature of myself. I wear the right clothes that fit my age. But I can still do some of the things I did when I was young, and as a 65-year-old girl, I still do.

Sharon Stone once said, People are afraid of change. They're losing something. They don’t realize that they’re also buying something. Seriously, I think there is a certain sensuality in the art of getting old.”



GettyImages Stars not only talk about such an important topic, but also write whole books! Cameron Diaz, 48, says in The Body Book: Your body is amazing. Whatever shape you are in, your body is capable of a lot. Needless to say, how important is it to learn how to take care of this wonderfully complex machine?

Before you chase beauty and youth, answer one simple question: “Do you love yourself here and now?” Short, tall, thin or fat, with thick eyebrows or freckles all over her face? If you say yes, senility It won't be scary for you. If you say no, then age is not the problem.
