Have you ever thought of growing old and how it would be for you?
For some time now, my thoughts were occupied by this and honestly, I do not like it. I don’t want to grow old. Period.
When I was younger, I’ve always told my friends (never my family because I may scare them) that I do not want to live past thirty. I felt at that time that the life of a grown up wasn’t fun plus I don’t want an aging body and face. Yes, I was shallow and thankfully, I’ve matured and overgrown that thought because I am now thirty-three and still very much alive.
Nevertheless, that fear of old age is still within me somewhere. Worrying me, haunting me. I wanted to be young forever. That’s not possible I know but I am quite sure, many people out there share the same thoughts. Who wouldn’t want eternal youth right? Now, I sound like someone from a fantaserye. I guess if you become a mother, you simply wanted to live forever to be with your child. You wouldn’t want to grow up so you can catch up with his youth and remain a fun mom to be with.
However, my hubby have different thoughts. He said he wanted to grow old in style. He said he wanted to be like Al Pacino, visiting casinos riding limos or chevy and smoking the finest Avo cigars. He’s being crazy and dreamy. But in a way, I like the thought. I can see myself as an old matrona in a flashy car hitting ballroom discos and wearing my branded shoes and bags!
It’s not bad to grow old in style right? If you worked hard in your youth and gave your all to make your family and your life better, why not dream for some life comfort as an aging adult? The truth though is even if I work 24/7 today, I would still not live my dream lifestyle, that’s why it will remain as a dream. No harm in dreaming right? 
What about you, would you like to grow old in style too?
