So, I was scrolling through my social media feed the other day, and I kept seeing all these posts about staying young and looking youthful. It got me thinking, what’s the real deal with all this “youth” stuff? I mean, I’m not getting any younger, and neither are my friends April and Alessa. We’ve been talking a lot lately about how we want to age gracefully, but also how we want to hold onto that youthful vibe for as long as possible.
I decided to do a little digging, you know, see what the internet had to say about it. I found some articles talking about skincare routines, like exfoliating to help your skin cells turn over. Sounds kind of gross, but I guess it makes sense. Then there were these articles about teenagers and how they’re going to be a force to be reckoned with in the future. That made me think about April and Alessa and how they’re raising their own teens now. It’s like a whole different world.
I even stumbled upon this one article talking about how being super fit in your 80s and 90s could slow down aging. I’m not sure I’ll be a world-class athlete by then, but hey, it’s something to think about! I started to try these.
Here is the detail about what I tried
- First, I started trying to exfoliate my skin. At first, my skin was a little bit sensitive, but after a week, it is getting better.
- Then, I tried to add some exercise to my daily life. I went hiking with April and Alessa, we were tired but we felt really good. We decided to do it every week.
- Finally, I tried to keep a good mood. I have to say, it is really hard. But April and Alessa helped me a lot.
So, I called up April and Alessa, and we had this long chat about the whole aging thing. We talked about how we want to be like those cool older ladies who just don’t care what people think. You know, the ones who break all the rules and just live their lives to the fullest. They don’t care about society’s idea of beauty or what women should or shouldn’t do as they get older.
We decided we were going to make a pact, right then and there. We were going to support each other through all the ups and downs of life, no matter what. I mean, there are support groups for babies, toddlers, and kids, so why not for us? We’re going to be each other’s cheerleaders, each other’s shoulders to cry on, and each other’s partners in crime as we navigate this whole aging thing together. And at the same time, we can feel that we are getting younger together.
