Is Aging a blessing or a Curse?

[Basra-]

At one perspective, you fear the death of your youth. The freshness, the glow, and the societies adornment of you, given we live in a world of youth obsession. On the other hand, old age brings a matter of fact wisdom. You have nothing to lose. Everything is slipping and being lost, therefore, you are left with experience, and how you took care of yourself for years. Moral of the story? Don't smoke, over eat, or party hard, u will regret it in your old age. Moisturize plentiful, and embrace the age of Eedodom, motherhood, and approaching ayeeyoniimo. May "I" be sexy now in diminishing youth, as I would be in old age!

Amiiin!

It's a blessing, it means you have lived a long life.

I lost 3 people I was close to, one passed away in HS, he was only 16. The other 2 died in 20yrs, and 21yrs. We all grew up together and had the same child hood.

Sorry for your loss dear Gamer-- I hope u learnt something from their deaths.

Basra, the fact you are, at this juncture in your life, pondering such a question, leads one to believe you are, indeed, getting on in years! Unfortunately, contrary to a certain popular held myth, for a female, there is no such thing as aging gracefully. After a Xaliimo peaks at Thirty, it is downhill from there. She has pretty much nothing to look forward to after that, except layers upon layers of calool iyo naaso balaq balaq ah, iyo weji foolxun oo laa laamey, that is it.

Thanks, I had and that's to live your life knowing you can die any day. Nothing is guaranteed in this world, alway be humble.

One of them had a twin brother, and every time I ran into him it's just sad. Aun, he's been gone 6yrs now.

Old means something different to different people, to me old is when I am weak and defenceless, when I need someone to wipe my ass, diaper time.

I remember being a baby it was a hassle, had to learn to walk and shit, I fell alot, but at least the body could take it, when you're old you basically don't recover, you just die a with aches and pains.

To other people old means getting bald or grey hair, having sagging breast etc.

Aging is what you make of it. If you have a negative attitude towards aging that won't help you, rather it will work against you. Contrary to your opinion I don't think there is a downhill spiral after 30. That is an ageist and sexist assertion. You are also claiming that some Somali women don't wish to (1) live a healthy and active life or (2) think its too late to start lifting dumbbells. That couldn't be further from the truth. It isn't too late, unless you think it is. In the same vein, you can age gracefully as a woman, with a youthful and vivacious attitude about your golden years. That is infinitely more attractive than one that lacks self-assuredness at any age. And if you are a lady looking for love post menopause than you are in luck. Silver-haired men from your age group and older that aren't looking to be saddled with babies will certainly take notice. When the biological clock stops ticking and the children have left the proverbial nest - that's music to his ears.
