I had an interesting conversation last night with some of my friends who have a few years on me. They were excited about what I am doing. We have never really had any mentors to show us the positive aspects of aging, they both agreed. All we ever heard was – hide the wrinkles, watch the crows feet, and by all means don’t go grey.
What are these messages trying to tell us? It’s not okay to get old? I used to think that the world was prejudiced towards men and now I am seeing a distinct prejudice toward youth. Maybe it’s always been there and I never noticed it before – having been among the youth – but I really feel such a strong call now to change these messages. It’s truly time to reinvent midlife.
