Can I touch the sensitive nerve of you women out there who do not wish to talk about something they are always so wary of? I know lot of you ladies who wish to be so secretive about how many years you have been on this planet. When it comes to tell your age in a gathering; we go, 'so what’s your guess'. On the contrary, we see our mothers and aunts singing about our age (out of worry) all the time. Imagine a scene, our mothers and aunts being loud in front of the visitors about how old we have become and you trying to make them quiet…shhhh ssshhhh. How hilarious it can be!
My point is why can’t we just say it out? Why can’t we feel comfortable in our own skin when need to speak out about this ‘Age Phenomenon’? What is so scary about it? I have been often told, we should not ask someone their age, specifically women and I always wonder why? How does that really matter if you are 20, 32 or 50? Will it snatch away your most possessive thing or it will save you a million bucks? Will it take away that date you always wanted to go or it stops you from mingling in the category of those in 20’s.
Whichever way it is, it will not stop adding up. It is not that you jumped the queue from 25 to 33 out of the box and you could never experience what 26th was all about and so it’s a shame. Why to play the game of hiding number? No, seriously!
The idea that I am trying to sell here is we should work harder towards maintaining our health and beauty (in a wise way) rather than hiding the age factor for being scared of how old we may be looking. Not only that, it is all about our psyche and inner happiness of what age we portray ourselves as. A happy soul will not really bother what decade she is living in and she will not count how many years have passed by. Reason is simple, she is in happy space, she loves it and she is proud of having reached there. That attitude can come in many ways including education, health and beauty. If you are keeping up with feeling confident in a certain way there is no reason for you to look at numbers. Looking at today’s trend, women have become more educative of how they can keep fit and eat healthy but still there is a lot of scope I can see.
I am being very honest when I say, I feel my age and very happy about it. In fact, 30’s are just great as you get into the phase of knowing your life better. You know your choices, disliking, ambitions and so much more about yourself. It is EXCITING! I am sure, 40’s or 50’s will bring their own charm. Every decade we will lose some and gain some. Irrespective, I have understood the fact that the best way to look good is to eat healthy and stay fit by doing workout as a part of your lifestyle. More than that, it is equally important to feel good from within. If you feel at peace at inner end, it will reflect in your personality. We cannot expect the rosy path all the way but every bit of it will make us wiser, stronger and richer.
So step out, be confident of what number you are, say it Spot on and show your confidence Bang on! People will love you for what you are and not what number are you at...!!
