For some reason, I thought aging with be negative. I guess to a certain degree it has to do with how our Western society view us humans aging. Anyway, yesterday I saw this quote from David Attenborough which is spot on how reality is!
Aging is not for the faint of heart.
One day, you wake up and realize — youth has quietly slipped away.
But it didn’t leave alone.
It took with it your insecurities, your rush to please, your fear of not being enough.
And in its place?
It left you with something stronger:
A slower pace, but a steadier step.
The wisdom to say goodbye without fear.
The grace to cherish those who choose to stay.
The power to be you, unapologetically.
Aging isn’t about losing — it’s about letting go.
It’s about learning to accept, to release, and to truly see:
That beauty was never just in the mirror…
It lived in every story, scar, and silent strength we carried within.
Aging is a gift. Wear it with dignity.
