Why should I look 30 at 50? Frankly about the pain.

A woman's age is a delicate matter. Someone tries to hide it with all truths and untruths, and someone stoically tolerates the appearance of wrinkles and the first signs of aging.

We all know people who are afraid of getting old. Perhaps you are one of them yourself? This state of affairs affects Sophia Chernyshova, a philologist, teacher and business coach, who, inspired by the stories of mature women, brought her secrets of her second youth. In her blog post, she suggests that senility It could be a wonderful time.

“Why should I look 30 at 50?” asks Sophia Chernyshova. The beauty industry knows what to manipulate. women's complexes"What a terrible face you have!" You look 50 years old! And with our makeup... And this bait fell on more than one lady of age.

Of course, the desire to be more attractive, argues the author of Married at 50, or Breaking the Template, is a normal state of a woman’s mind. It's always been that way, in all ages. The great Cleopatra, for the preservation of youth and beauty, took milk-honey baths (or is it a legend?), and other “rich and famous” also did not lag behind. At the same time, adds Sophia, common sense suggests that you can look good just by regularly taking care of yourself, without spending money on superfashionable treatments and cosmetics.

Nothing resents a business coach more than saying, “I’m 50 and still 18.” She thinks it's just coquetry.

“Why are we ashamed not only of the outward sign of aging, but of being different? Why aren’t we proud of being smarter and wiser? What does it mean to be 18 in my heart? Is it doing stupid things, falling in love with the wrong people, worrying about your appearance, believing everyone, being a naive fool? What good is it? – Sophia does not cease to wonder at the human nature.

“For some reason, this is considered cool. “Young Soul” and “Old Soul” Are They? To gain intelligence, to grow up, to know more, to understand yourself and people better, to distinguish true values from false ones, to have your own opinion on any occasion, not to worry about trifles - this is the growth of the soul. It's not available to 18-year-olds. None of us actually has a 50+ young soul with all the characteristics described above, otherwise life teaches us nothing.

There are many reasons why you should not be ashamed, but rather admire your age.

I think we should be proud, on the contrary, that at 50+ we are smart and wise enough not to do stupid things. And if an adult, with his head drawn, throws himself into the abyss of passions or embarks on adventures, then what merit is there in this than to be proud?

One day I saw a photo of a classmate celebrating 50 years after graduating from their class. At the same time, they dressed like students – in school uniforms and white aprons, tied ties and bows, thinking that it was funny and fun. Unfortunately, for me, it caused nothing but disappointment. It was not funny, it was sad... A young woman, even as a joke, is a pity.”

According to Chernyshova, mature women, compared to 18-year-olds, finally gain freedom. And the older they are, the freer they are! She firmly believes that only free people who allow themselves to be themselves and live as they please are happy. After all, in youth all rebel, but depend on the parental word, on the opinion of peers.

In conclusion, the woman boldly declares, "I'll be honest, I don't want my 18." I feel much better now because my external changes are nothing compared to my internal ones. They please me much more than they upset the signs of age.”
