Proudly old?
People nowadays try to look young even if they are 70 years old. We have not validated an older woman model, old woman with glamour, wrinkles and white hair, and who is in the world in a situation of full rights.
That's why he claims the old word?
If we don't we will always be suffering, trying to avoid it. Being old is a stage of the life cycle, it is not a misfortune, the misfortune is to hit it at 30, but reaching 70, 80, is a luck that history has gifted us.
However, old doesn't sound very good.
As long as the word is loaded with stigma, as if we have to apologize for existing, we will always live angry, we will never be able to be peaceful old women.
The word needs to be redone.
Yes, remove the drama, relativize and use a lot of humor.
The 60s fall like a slab.
Between the 60s and the 70s we experience a recovery of many elements that make us free and fun, we no longer believe much of the things we were sold.
Why more fun?
We no longer dramatize, we relativize, and this gives us sympathy and joy; and having the security that friends give you, bonds, is something essential that men don't usually cultivate, maybe that's why three out of four suicides are male.
Old people are a nuisance to society.
In the cultural imaginary, old age is ugly, an uninteresting person, but if you look around you see that this does not correspond to reality, there are a lot of interesting old women who participate in cultural and social life, we need to we believe so
Where there's been, there's always something left, they say.
We can be very elegant respecting the signs of age, with our white hair, wrinkles and our body. We will have to define a beauty that makes us happy in our 70s, 80s..., but society doesn't believe that.
It is curious that a gift of 30 more years of life is lived with shame.
And much anger, because the body ages; no matter how much tai chi or aguagim you do, it's a different body, who said it's not beautiful?...
What are the advantages of age?
The range of grays expands, life is filled with nuances if you are not dogmatic and have accumulated wisdom that allows you to become a mentor to young people, and live with humor.
A generation, his, that has fought for the emancipation of women.
We got divorce, abortion, gay marriage, the gender violence law, and now it's time to fight for a dignified old age.
Am this.
Inventing an old age that allows us to enjoy it even if we see worse, feel worse and use a cane: that element of freedom.
The terror is that they park us in a nursing home.
Yes, that panics. There may be exceptions, but in general it means the loss of freedom in all areas: your sexuality, relationships, money and life, because you are being kicked.
Are you being treated like a little girl again?
It happens in everyday life, at the health center they tell you: "Grandma, pass", suddenly you no longer have a name and surname, and they speak to you with diminutives: "Raise your arm, give me the winks", an unbearable tone, a lack of consideration for our mental capacities.
Now this sexuality in the third age is something that is talked about a lot.
Yes, we can enjoy sexuality and we have destigmatized it, but make sure it doesn't become another mandate!, these extra years are for you to live as you please.
It takes a lot of strength.
We must all create new models of being old and looking like it. We've always fought not to look like him, now I think we can be free, with style, with dignity, but without pretending to have breasts like a 20-year-old, that's almost pornography.
Do you need to get rid of the models?
Yes, we've already been tortured and made sick by heels, diets and plastic surgery. We don't want to be dramatically young, but to affirm our age with dignity. That it has cost us enough to get it.
What can we do for us?
First of all, accept age, the changes in the body, and then put limits on everything that steals our own time, which we have been giving away as if we had enough.
You only realize this late.
Say your age with pride, you know that longevity is a gift, an achievement, not a catastrophe. Also, you feel old when you don't have projects, not when you get older.
Any suggestions?
Shower and wash your hair often and remember to comb the back after it's been laid. Get rid of accumulated old junk, lighten your life. Surround yourself with beautiful things. Don't ask permission to exist. rate yourself Identify and recognize your knowledge.
