This is something I think people should remember. Corperations that wanna be seen as progressive and "woke", still see older women as useless and disposable, even acting legends like LuPone

A summary of the 10 essential principles for aging well covered in "Brain Rules for Aging Well" by John Medina:

Exercise - Regular physical activity is crucial for maintaining cognitive function, mood, and physical health as we age.

Sleep - Getting quality sleep is vital, as poor sleep is linked to accelerated cognitive decline and increased risk of dementia.

Stress - Learning to effectively manage stress through relaxation techniques, social connection, and cognitive strategies can slow age-related mental deterioration.

Nutrition - Eating a nutrient-dense diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and healthy fats nourishes the brain and body.

Learning - Continuously challenging the brain with new skills and information helps maintain mental sharpness.

Purpose - Maintaining a sense of purpose and meaning in life is associated with better cognitive and emotional wellbeing.

Social Connection - Staying socially engaged and nurturing relationships are protective against cognitive decline.

Music - Actively engaging with music, whether playing an instrument or simply listening, boosts brain health.

Relaxation - Taking time to unwind and restore through practices like meditation helps counteract the damaging effects of stress.

Optimism - Cultivating a positive, hopeful mindset can enhance physical and mental resilience as we age.

Following these 10 principles can help you stay vital, happy, and sharp for years to come, according to brain expert John Medina.

when cage the elephant said “tomorrow it will rise, time flies by, they all sang along, time flies by, they all sang along, time flies by, they all sang along, time flies by, by”, when lorde said “it feels so scary, getting old”, when rex the orange county “I'm still a boy inside my thoughts, am I meant to understand my faults?/old enough to understand//It's not the same anymore, I lost the joy in my face, my life was simple before”, when mitski said “mom, would you wash my back? this once, and then we can forget and I'll leave what I'm chasing for the other girls to pursue/mom, am I still young? can I dream for a few months more?”, when billie eilish said “I'm getting older, I think I'm aging well”, when sleeping at last said “I'd give anything to hear you say it one more time that the universe was made just to be seen by my eyes//I want to believe, no, I choose to believe that I was made to become a sanctuary”, when harry styles said “you know it's not the same as it was” and when cavetown and chloe moriondo said “sometimes I feel like I wanna go back to a time before my mind turned black I miss the way it was//please slow down, please slow down, make it all slow down” I realized this is what aging looks like.

I think there is something so uniquely, and unintentionally, beautiful about ageing. The way one's face and body begins to express your emotions for u. The way the face and body begins to tell a story so unimaginably wonderful, without u even noticing. I think it is so wonderful when a face and body begins to wrinkle and age and tell the story of u. The story of ur life before I was a part of it. I’m so deeply mesmerised by the story of ur childhood told with the help of the scar on the bottom of ur left shin. I’m swept into ur first born's bedroom when they show me the tiny, almost faded scar they have above their right eyebrow from falling from their bed when they were little. I’m taken aback by ur beauty when I notice that the crows feet beneath ur eyes are so deeply present because ur smile has always taken over ur whole face. I fall in love with the possibilities of my life when I see how deeply the events and moments of urs have become so ingrained in u. There is something so astonishingly beautiful in u, thus the same must exist in ageing too…

I miss the genuine excitement that comes with sharing good news with other people.

What I mean is, there are certain milestones that when mentioned, it used to be a given that people would rejoice. However, with getting older (I’m in my early 40s), so much going on in the world and our daily lives, it seems like a constant managing of expectations. I also think that when we accomplish things later in life than most people are expected to, the overall enthusiasm wanes.

For example, people who get their GED because they dropped out of high school. That moment isn’t celebrated like graduating from high school at 18 or younger. Getting your bachelor’s degree after your 20s isn’t celebrated with the same level of excitement as straight out of high school and when you’re under 24 years old. Having a baby between 20-30 years old solicits far more support than 30-45 years old. Buying a house when you’re younger than 40 is cause for rejoicing but any time after that, there’s the assumption that you should have had your first house by now. Getting married after your 30s doesn’t receive all the squeals of joy that come with the nuptials of the 20s and 30s.

The list can continue FOREVER. Yes, we talk ad nauseam about taking pride in the things we accomplish and not seeking validation from others in order to be happy with these things. But we don’t talk enough about aging out and how it’s considered normal to reserve the happiness of accomplishments for the youth. So, there’s unrealistic bullshit woven into the expectation that no matter how old we get, the energy surrounded by accomplishment will be the same. Yes, everything mentioned above include things we typically do for personal fulfillment. However, when we keep these things to ourselves, we’re STILL 9 times out of 10 told to SHARE.

I’ve arrived at a point in life where I only want to share with people who will match my level of joy, not give less. Otherwise, I will keep what I do safely to myself. I don’t want the wind knocked out of my excitement by anyone who should be happy for me. I also don’t want the spark to fade because I’ve spent far too much time trying to determine who best to share any good news with. I also don’t think I need to throw all the babies out with the bath water and get all new people to be friends & associates with either.

Some stuff will be just for me because I’m a late bloomer in a ton of different ways. I experience life on a timeline that hasn’t been all that popular. This doesn’t mean I’ve earned any less happiness than those who’ve accomplished the same but earlier in life. I just have to manage my expectations.

That’s the point I’ve arrived to in my life… I’m in my era of expectation management. I value my happiness, joy, contentment, and sanity. It isn’t anyone else’s job to make sure I nourish those things and this is where my attention resides at the moment. So now when anyone finds out what I’m doing and been up to, their enthusiasm will be a nice addition to what I already have but their absence won’t drown out what I’ve amassed for myself.

Sharing life with others feels great. I also know that over time the people we share our life with could and does change. No matter what point of life I am in, my hope is that I choose people I’m best aligned with so that neither of us have to question when and if our good news can be shared.

Sober thoughts🫂

The other day during a phonecall, my friend brings up a point about desirability. We're both afabs in our mid 20s, me a nonbinary, her a genderfluid woman. She talks about this study of desirability and dating apps, how as women age they tend to stay in their age range with potential suitors with some venturing a bit younger. As men age they search for younger almost inevitably. In bringing up this topic I could tell she was troubled by this (I guess I am too?).

It seems like for afabs you spend a lifetime in your youth warding off unwanted attention. Some conceptualize power

by leaning into the lust and others find power in shielding. As a swer I've done both, as a bigender I've tried both. A lifetime of figuring it all out. Then you're old(er). You've got the rhythm of life and you feel beautiful in it, but the men come around less frequently. I wonder if that's true, and if so does it really scare me? Should it? As a queer nonbinary person I'm limitless in finding and receiving love and desire. But in gender and queerness there's still a root of socialization to unpack. We still don't fully understand gender if at all. How will I know if I've broken free?

"I’m happy to be 54, and I don't want to be lured into thinking I'm not!

I am happy to be the exact age I am and I want to see more people my age being happy being their age.

I want more middle aged people in my feed!

I want more 50 or 60 something people showing off their half naked bodies feeling it's natural." -Shama Persson
