It's never the same day, to accept our age and moment.
I talk about this because everything has its time, its place and when we want to advance or delay it goes wrong. What do I mean? I see very young people who want to become adults too quickly, burning stages ahead of time to then reach an adulthood that becomes strong and heavy, because whether we want it or not, it is loaded with many responsibilities.
Blessed experience that makes us selective, the rest is noise. Let's not romanticize suffering, but we must honor the human capacity to transform pain into a greater capacity for connection and surrender.
On the other side of the equation we find adults who, being old, do not accept their age, they want to live in their eternal 20s. And while having “a young soul” is valid, accepting the age we are is important to be able to fully live what this stage has to offer, instead of spending energy resisting what is already.
I don't want to say that I have to “look like an old man or woman”, but we do assume, to lose the fear of gray hair, to accept ourselves, is to look back and lose that fear of aging, that anxiety that leads us to distort, is something that we must review, for example the routine that is an illusion, and life that always opens a new moment.
It's kind of like walking in the same door, and we're never exactly the same person. Nor are they the same ideas, thoughts, experiences and people that we encounter along the way.
In addition, behind every storm, there is a gift hidden, whoever learns to dance in the rain always comes out with the cleanest soul and the strongest heart.
But only when we are aware and present can we appreciate that difference. Otherwise, we can believe that every day is the same. But those of us who savor life, know that every moment has its own immensity.Every era has its challenges, challenges and charms. Let's enjoy (and accept what we get).
One of the biggest problems of the elderly is the fear or guilt of enjoyment. I only wish that pain does not harden our hearts, that falls do not take away the desire to get up and that my wounds never make me forget the beauty of loving again.
Personally, I'm not looking for good vibes people all the time anymore, I prefer to make bad decisions and have good memories lol, because it's better to look for real bonds where I can be kind, and honest when necessary, where the commitment is reciprocal and where I'm not afraid to feel and show, the full weight of my own emotional burdens. It is my time of valid and possible quality of life, as well as, necessary for a good life.
