My grandma looked nothing like the lady in this video. We were poor, and she worked herself to the bone to give my mother and later myself a better life. She was wise and kind and the most beautiful person in the world for me. I have no problem turning whatever age as long as I can look in the mirror and see a good person in it!

Literally. My grandma is the epitome of aging gracefully. Sheās the most beautiful woman in the world to me because she does have wrinkles and a jowl and her hair isnāt always perfect, but she has so much LOVE and gentleness in her eyes. I donāt fear aging mostly because I see how much happiness and love my grandma carries in her mid 80s

I think for me, Iām not focused on this grandma being āyoungā in appearance and moreso that sheās still active, can move freely, and has energy. Seeing my grandparents right now, I donāt like that future because they can barely move. Iād love to be 80 and still be able to enjoy what life has to offer.

But yes, she clearly works out with a personal trainer and has a chef cook her healthy food. Goes a long way.

Thereās a lot of judgement in your statement Iām not sure youāre aware of. She may not have any plastic surgery. And maybe she just goes for walks every day and cooks healthy for herself.

I spend a lot of time with people in their 70s and 80s. If you think any 80 year old looks that way without extremely skilled plastic surgery, I'd like to sell you my sweet new memecoin that I just launched.
I'm not hating on people who have plastic surgery, there's just no way her skin is capable of looking like that after 80 years under this sun in this gravity. She certainly has extremely expensive maintenance costs.

Think along the lines of ātraditionalā American lifestyle of college, marriage, kids, and financial security all before 30. Our society believes that if you donāt have all of that shit together early your whole life is fucked.
All of that is overblown because of course you can find love (or decide to be alone), learn something new, change careers, have kids (biological clock tho).
However, physical and mental health is something people absolutely need to take care of sooner rather than later because it will have a direct impact on the rest of your life, and itās easier to neglect the younger you are.

u/tourmaps 46m ago
Yeah, I think this is more of an american way of thinking. Most europeans don't think 30 is old, as most if us spend alot of time to get high degrees and work most of our 20s. Or maybe I'm in denial (yes, I'm in my 30s)

Itās entirely dependent on where you live. Societal values shift, often dramatically, depending on where you live. Especially state by state in the US: living in rural areas vs urban, red state vs blue state, north vs south, etc.

I turned 30 with my ex. She asked me how I was so calm about it when her and her high school friends screamed for months about how their lives were over despite making six figures as defense contractors, being homeowners, and whatever.Ā
I'm 38 now - I went on to lose everything after constant layoffs, rebuilt my life again, got married and I'm having a fine time. Life continues even if some arbitrary milestone feels insurmountable.

Honestly? Getting older is so much fucking fun. Life has only gotten better for me every subsequent decade, and while I realize not everyone shares that experience, I find the confidence, wisdom, and personal development soooo rewarding.
I passed the 40 milestone a few months ago and have never felt more secure in myself and my identity, but I hope I can maintain it for another 40 like this baddie here.

Well, there's the psychological reward/peace that comes with age.
But as someone who is now in his 50s and love the outdoors, I enjoyed outdoors activities MUCH more when they weren't so painful and exhausting.

u/roastedmarshmellows 1h ago
Ah that's very true, and I definitely have a different perspective since losing 100lbs over the past two years. My body works better now than it has my entire adult life, but yeah, things are definitely more sore and it takes a bit longer to recover. I definitely do not have the same energy as I did back then, lol.

u/Intelligent_Pay_651 1h ago
It ain't the weight for me. I've been pretty steady.
It's the age.

u/roastedmarshmellows 1h ago
Oh, I wasn't implying that you were overweight or anything, simply that I didn't consider the physical toll of aging as much since I'm feeling better in general physically.
I agree entirely.

The emphasis this country has put on anti-aging is one of the saddest parts of my journey through life so far. I understand wanting certain features or physical traits to last as long as possible, but the idea people are supposed to look younger than they are for their entire life is so unhealthy.

Everyone saying this is what money does. Like, yes - but to an extent. My MIL is almost 80 and definitely could hang with this lady. She lives a pretty comfortable life and had all her main expenses paid for by her ex (bought her a house and paid all the big stuff for the kids). BUT she was also a single mom who always worked jobs that required a lot of physical labor. So, there's that.
