Victoria Tokareva on what to prepare for, crossing the 50-year milestone

People dream of old-age It was a joy, not a burden. However, there is a lot of work to be done. Much depends on the settings we give ourselves. We all have our fears and fears. And getting rid of them is not easy.



Sometimes relatives and friends come to the rescue, and sometimes we listen to the wisdom of famous people who are ready to share their experience with the world. In today’s article, we will tell you what 83-year-old writer Victoria Tokareva thinks about old age.

When Victoria Tokarev was asked if it was difficult for her to accept her aging, she replied: "It depends who is nearby." I'm loved. He who is near is air, or rather oxygen. When you love and love, it is easy to breathe.



It is hard to deny that the human environment shapes him throughout his life. If you are loved and loved, you feel really happy and like winged. At times like this, it doesn’t matter how old you are.

All the work of Victoria Tokareva is a reflection of life without embellishment. When she was young, she wrote about love. In adulthood, an analysis of the years lived appeared in her works. When she turned 70, she began writing about old age.



However, in the first, second and third cases, Tokareva focuses on emotions: “A person does not live a temporary life, but an emotional one. His life does not consist of the number of days he has lived, but of the quantity and quality of his emotions.” Not surprisingly, some young people can look much older than their age. And the elderly, on the contrary, radiate only positive energy.

You can spend a lifetime complaining about the vicissitudes of fate. You can take everything from her, accepting her as she is. But what is she really like? No wonder they say that Man is the smith of his happiness.



With age, people begin to lose their attractiveness. This is especially feared by women. However, Victoria Tokareva believes that the external directly depends on the internal: “Many get better by old age. The soul comes out. And if the soul is good, clear and noble, then the face is the same. And vice versa. Dirty guts come out, in which case old people are disgusting.”

What people are afraid of getting older, people are often afraid of loneliness. Yeah, that's really possible. However, only if you push away your loved ones or do not want to let new people into your life. Victoria Tokareva is sure: “Close people make you a link in the common chain, without which the chain will fall apart.” As long as someone complements you, you complement them. This is the basis of any human relationship.



She believes that happiness drives people: “Lack of happiness is bad for health.” The brain produces a hormone of displeasure, and the person gets upset like a damp piano. And fake.

Do you think you should be happy or learn to be happy? Because when you think about it, we often just don't notice how much beauty we have around us. We fixate on problems, quarrel with loved ones. However, it is only necessary to let go of all the bad things for a minute to start filling up with the good. It’s really hard and not always easy.



Life is a constant search for yourself. Just because you’ve spent your whole life working in an office or fixing cars doesn’t mean you can’t start from scratch at 50, 60, or even 70. The parents of a friend of mine are educated throughout their lives. And adulthood does not prevent them from entering university and mastering a new profession.

Some people will say it takes money. But in our time it is enough to open up the Internet, right? My father, for example, has been mastering carpentry for many years. It's not his job, it's not his profession, it's just a hobby. However, it is because of him that he feels happy. And I'm sure his approaching old age won't stop him from feeling that way.

I hope that the quotes and wise thoughts of Victoria Tokareva will inspire you. Do you believe that life to old age can be happy?
