THE OLD AND THE NEW

THE OLD AND THE NEWDownload

Age identity is thus understood as a multidimensional concept including specific aspects of personal aging and general views of what it means to be old and also, respectively, young

Age Identity vs. Chronological Age

In this regard, subjective age is subsumed under the umbrella term of “awareness of ageing” that also includes self-perceptions of ageing, stereotypes regarding older adults, and awareness of age-related change. So, is age just a number?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO AGE?

Do you let your age define you?

Is age just a number?

Do you still feel youthful?

Do you still enjoy all the things you used to when you were younger?

Do you feel like the older you get, the wiser you become?

“Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.” —Franz Kafka

AND SO WE ENTER INTO AN IDENTITY CRISIS – ONE WHERE OUR AGE GETS IN THE WAY

CYCLES CIRCLE AND SHIFT AND WE HAVE TO PLAY OUR ROLES ACCORDINGLY

“Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional.” —Walt Disney

I also asked the question – Are we all just extensions of each other travelling through time and space, shifting and ageing, or rather developing as we go?

Are my children just future extensions of me (I know they’re their own beings for sure) but did my mum seed them when I was born and much like the Russian doll effect, we create and manifest new versions of ourselves through our own creative ability (sex) and that seed carries the past and future consciousness with it and embodies it in the present moment?

DEEP HUH!

And this is the entire nature of the topic of……

WHO ARE WE?

“Getting older makes you more alive. More vitality, more interest, more intelligence, more grace, more expansion.” —Jamie Lee Curtis

WE ARE THE EXPANSE! WE ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, WE ALWAYS WILL BE. WE’RE JUST RIDING THE WAVE ON A NUMBER AND A FEELING

OK, moving on…..
