Good read that match the first painting in that album:
What does it feel like to be old?
The other day, a young person asked me: – how do you feel by being old?
I was very surprised by the question, because I don’t consider myself old. When she saw my reaction, she immediately wanted it, but I explained to her that it was an interesting question.
After thinking, I concluded that getting old is a gift.
Sometimes I’m surprised by the person I see in my mirror. But I don’t care about these things for a long time. I wouldn’t change for all the gold in the world to have grey hair less and a flat stomach.
I don’t force myself to make the bed, or to eat a few more ” things
I am in my right to be a little messy, to be extravagant and to spend hours contemplating my flowers.
I have seen a few dear friends leaving this world, before enjoying the freedom that comes with old age and gives the right to read or play on the computer until 4 am and after sleep until I Don’t know what time?-
I have the right to dance alone at the rhythm of the 50 s and 60 s and then cry, if the envy takes me for a lost love more than 40 years ago.
I take the right to walk on the beach with a swimsuit that stretches on my plump body and take a dip in the waves by letting me wear, despite the compassion looks of those who wear a bikini. They will also one day become old, if they have the chance to live this long.
It is true that through the years my heart has suffered for the loss of a loved one, for the pain of a child, or to see a pet die. But it is the suffering that gives us strength and makes us grow. A heart that has not been broken, is sterile and will never know of the happiness of being imperfect. I feel proud to have lived long enough for my hair to become grey and to keep the smile of my youth, before the deep furrows appear on my face.
Now, to answer the question with sincerity, I can say, ” I like to be old, because old age makes me wiser, more free! ” ”
I know I’m not going to live forever, but as long as I’m there, I’ll live according to my own laws, those of my heart. I’m not going to apologize about what wasn’t, nor worry about what it will be. For the time I have left, I would just like to live my life as I have done until today, the rest the fate will decide
