One day, a young man asked me: what it's like
to be old. I was stunned, because I had never thought of it-I was
old.
Perhaps for the first time
in my life, I feel that I have lived out my ideal self. Many times,
I also feel desperate for my body: wrinkles on my face, sagging eye
bags, sagging buttocks. I am also often shocked by seeing my old
self in the mirror, but I will not suffer from these
things.
I will never exchange my sincere friendship, a
wonderful life, or a warm family relationship for less gray hair
and a flat stomach. When I am old, I know how to treat myself
better and be less harsh on myself. I became my own friend. I don't
blame myself for eating an extra slice of cookie, or failing to
make the bed, or paying for expansion screws that I don't need. I
have seen too many friends leave this world prematurely, and have
not had time to enjoy the precious freedom that comes with old
age.
If I want, I can read books and play on the
computer until four in the morning, and then sleep until midday; if
I want, I can listen to the beautiful melody of the 50s and 60s and
dance by myself; if I want, I I can shed tears of sorrow for my
lost love, cry as I want to cry; if I want, I can walk leisurely on
the beach in a swimsuit with my blessed body tightened, and then
indulge myself in the waves. Those in bikinis cast pity on me. They
will also get old.
I know, my memory is bad. But then again, there
are things in life that should be forgotten. When we reach the end
of life, I only bring the best memories of my
life.
I have such a blessing, my black hair turned into
silver wire, and my youthful laughter carved wrinkles on my face.
How many people have not smiled happily yet; and how many people
have left sadly before reaching Hao Shou. I say "no" to no, and I
say "yes" to do. As you age slowly, you will become more
up-to-date, and you don't care about what others think of you. I no
longer doubt myself, I even practiced the right to make
mistakes.
I like who I am now. I will not live forever,
but as long as I live, I will not waste my life regretting the
past, nor worrying about the future. After every meal, I still have
to eat sweet snacks——
This is the feeling of old age, I like old age,
it gives me freedom.
