Being Old is Gold =)

"Everyone is the age of their heart"--Guatemalan Proverb

Old, the mellow phase and the golden age for humans. You can't help getting older, (unless you're Benjamin Button) but you don't have to get old. What's the point to feel worse with your age? That's normal. Wrinkles were the experience lines you had gained throughout your life. And each line represents your hardship, your joy and consistency. Of course, the more you getting old, the more you lose something (the beauty of youth, if that's bothering you) but wide your eyes now, be grateful. Not everyone can enjoy that precious golden age.

Okay, what so great being old? Why people working so hard with medical fixation these days?--nose job, fillers, plastic surgery whatsoever.  Why being old is still unacceptable? To be honest, being old is not the issue, it is YOU who refuse to receive the fact. Be like my mom, she's cool when her menstrual month had stopped. She didn't work like hell to look young. She said, no matter what age she is, her heart is always young. Besides, youth is the age of struggling, and old is the age of resting. Nice mom, your'e doing a great job.

Now, the best thing being so golden is--

• It teaches you to not repeat the mistake that you did when you're young.
• It makes you appreciate everything around you.
• It makes you feel good with yourself (because you're the antique and antiques are precious)
• It helps you to realize the point of your life. What's the alternative being old? You'll die anyway so just enjoy your age gracefully.
• Being old is the better option, which is being dead.
• Old age helps you to handle temptation.
• It makes people respect you more and treat you well (especially at hospital).
• It enhance your senses of religion (your time is getting shorter so it's better to remember where's your God)
• It makes you realize you're still alive (and have a chance to get Facebook).
• It helps you to be more wise.
• It helps you to stop few silly habit that you did when you're young.
• It makes you less in desire and stop conquer everything you see.
• It gives you the precious experience and memories in your life that can never be replaced.
• Being old makes you realize you can integrate all different areas in your life and calm mindset.
• It makes more ideas in your head.
• Being old does not diminish the extreme disappointment about the small things.
• Being old cures your hardship and matures your life.
• Old age is the last chance for you to roll the dice and flip the card.

So, guys, fear not to old. You're not death yet. Wrinkles may crossed you and the beauty keeps fading.  However, you did try your best fulfilling your life and that's the beauty of your age- the beauty of long road of opportunities.

It is autumn; not without

But within me is the cold.

Youth and spring are all about;

It is I that have grown old.
