I don't understand people getting depressed about getting older. There is nothing you can do about it, so you might as well embrace it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I never thought getting older would be so great. But when it comes to depression, I have experienced less the older I've gotten.
If you're always battling against getting older, you're always going to be unhappy, because it's going to happen anyhow.
Getting older is no problem. You just have to live long enough.
The only person who can say they're happy getting old is someone who isn't actually old yet. Every day, I get less and less happy about that idea.
I'm not one of those people who is not looking forward to getting old. I'm happy with my life.
I think it's your mental attitude. So many of us start dreading age in high school and that's a waste of a lovely life. 'Oh... I'm 30, oh, I'm 40, oh, 50.' Make the most of it.
The good part about getting older is you stop trying to prove anything to anyone, including yourself. All you are in the pursuit of is collecting experiences - beautiful, fragile little soap bubbles that you store in your heart, and every once in a while you pull one out and gaze at the delicate pictures it shows you.
Getting older doesn't bother me. When I was 30, I thought I should have achieved more, but you get more comfortable and think it's time to stop putting pressure on yourself.
The great thing about getting older is that you get a chance to tell the people in your life who matter what they mean to you.
Getting older is a struggle. I always feel that just under the surface of acceptance and enjoyment of the ageing process is a terrible hysteria just waiting to burst out.
