Why I LOVE being over 50!
There’s something magical and liberating about being a 50-something-year-old woman, and if you are part of the women over 50 tribe, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
I remember thinking when I was in my 20s and 30s that 50 seemed so old. Little did I know. Life actually can begin or get even better at 50 (it did for me!)
I polled my community and here is a summary of the top 6 things we don't care about (as much) over 50
😁 Hair Length. I almost got swept up in the ""over 50 - cut your hair"" hype. I wear my hair long and hope it grows down to my butt. I love my hair and I don’t care if it makes me look older or not. It's easy for me and I'm keeping it.
😁 What we're supposed to wear or not wear. Apparently, when you’re a woman over 50 you have to dress like Mary friggin’ Poppins. Not me. While I don’t wear high heels or crop tops it doesn’t stop me from showing a little skin...I work hard for my arms. Girl, if you feel good in it...wear it!
😁 Letting the """"F"""" word slip. I find it funny when I swear and catch people off guard. I'm not that sweet and innocent
😁 What others think of us (as much). This one takes a bit longer but think about it...do you really care what they think?
😁 How many friends we have. When I was younger if I didn't have a friend or many friends to do something with on the weekend I felt like a loser. Now it's all about quality vs quantity. I rather spend an hour with a close friend having fun than several with people that I have nothing in common with.
😁 Getting older. Aging is a privilege and we should feel blessed that we CAN get older. Yes, we have wrinkles and grey hair. Maybe we have to do things a bit differently but we do our best to age gracefully and live each day the best we can and that is awesome!
So get excited — the best is yet to come! Live life to its fullest and don’t let anything stop you from enjoying the glory of your golden years! What other things have you learned as you’ve gotten older? Share it in the comments below!
