Saying: Age is just a number
According to some experts, ageing is just a mental state.
I say this because today is my birthday!
I think I’m 48, but my memory isn’t what it used to be.
That’s why people like myself like to believe age is just a number.
Saying age is just a number means you aren’t happy about time passing, but it also means you’re never too old or too young to try something.
Unfortunately, that number grows bigger every year.
When we are eight, why do we desperately want to be 13, but once we hit 48, we dream of being 35?
In our society, there is a lot of pressure on us to maintain a youthful appearance.
The fear of ageing can have a detrimental effect on someone psychologically.
It’s not just the physical changes that happen on the outside; it’s also our mindset and how we feel on the inside.
This fear of ageing is exacerbated because we live in a society where being young is considered to have the highest value.
Do you feel that you are ageing too quickly?
Or do you dread going for a medical check-up because the doctor might tell you that it’s time to start worrying about your health?
Can we stop ageing, or is it inevitable?
According to some experts, ageing is just a mental state.
The body can’t feel pain as easily as before.
But you do feel it – the next day.
Age is just a number, is often said by those about to hit the half-century mark.
It’s empty bravado, a sign they are not happy about time marching on, but it also means you are never too old or too young to try something.
If these statements are factual, then life looks good.
If not, well, I don’t want to talk about that.
Here’s to empty bravado!
Age is just a number!
Happy birthday to me!
