Getting old

There is this thought that comes in my head
You are beautiful now
One day you will get old
You will not shine at your reflection at the door of the shop

And it makes me want to sleep with boys
And it makes me want to catch time
Because one day I will be old
And my red lipstick will not look well on my soft lips.

The door of the shop? Hmm?

Yes it is a door. A place amongst all others.

Sad when the new decry the old, not really realising that one day by the grace of time, the old will be you too! Some of the most attractive. versatile and fun people are in the confident, generous older generation. They accept the who and why of themselves, happy in their skin and knowledge that they are accepted for what and who they are.. Tis a case of 'f look at me if you want, if you don't.. others will. So there! ' :)

I am not saying I am right. I might feel wrong sometimes. I got my issues.

[emmajoygreen]

So have I and I'm very often wrong, promise! I wasn't being mean but, probably older than you, was speaking from a different view point

[a_methyste]

No I know that. I knew it before posting.

I sort of agree with Poetic Beauty. Age has many attractions - the trite images of mature wine or ripened fig have some truth in them. Beauty has always been in the eye of the beholder, and I feel as aroused by the warmth of an older woman as I once enjoyed the pleasures of the young. There is something comforting in a sympathetic older woman, with her warm eyes, soft lips and downy body...safe and motherly, perhaps... with hands that can still caress and bring forth the seeds of renewal.

Your description is very nice and soothing.

Beauty isn’t about age!! When young we have a not quite grown up beauty, when we get to 30s and 40s we have this adult beauty that seems to be more spectacular if you don’t let social images distort your perception. Then there is beauty in old age!! Yes there is if you look at it from a different view point. I see women young and old that I think are beautiful. It’s all about changing your mindset

[a_methyste]

Yes it is. But it easily said than done.

[Poetic Beauty]

See I’m a bit older than you so I wasn’t bombarded with all the social media that you are. Yes commercial and magazine clothing store but it wasn’t a constant assault. So I say don’t use as much social media, sit outside and find the beauty in people of all ages as they walk by. Then try to see yourself that way. It’s not easy I know. I have terrible self image days. I’m short and pudgy but there are many that see my beauty and I’m learning to see myself that way.

I am too. Stay well my friend.
