60 Isn’t as Old or Hard as I Thought It Would Be
Despite what I might have said before
Aging is weird. I write an awful lot about all the struggles, the body changes, the frustrations, etc., of being a 61-year-old woman. At first, I hated it. For real.
I can’t tell you how many times I’d sit and think, “How the hell am I already 61? When did this happen? I hate this.”.
I struggled a lot with turning 60.
I remember when I hit 50, I thought that was bad and shitty. But it turned out that that decade was probably the best one of my life. Funny how life is sometimes.
And then 60 came. I’m not gonna lie. It made me really sad. I’d look in the mirror, and wonder who that lady staring back at me was.
She’s wrinkly; her face is sagging, and her eyelids are starting to droop. That can’t be me. I wanted that youthful face back. So badly.
But it’s not all that bad
In this article, I spoke of all the frustrations of being a 60+ year old woman.
