The invisibilty of age
You never think of it when youre young.
Never think how one day people just wont 'see' you.
We never even think how we dont see older people.... because we never notice them.
And when we do, its with some kind of unattractiveness that we naturally shy away from due to our own fears of losing youth.
Yet, think of the inner strength one must need to be older. To lose all that depended upon by youth:
- Physical attraction
- Physical ability
- connection to popular culture
- the vibrancy and flippancy that comes with 'time yet to spare'.
Do you have the strength to age beyond these things?
To lose these traits that appeal to others and are social commodities?
What would you do if you lost them tomorrow?
Do you have all those other traits and strengths that are needed to age with grace and confidence?
