Feeling old?... Better! 💪🏽 Let's bury ageism once and for all

Do you remember Friends?
Who wouldn't, you might say.

The series was a hit in the 90s, reflecting the concerns of a generation. A generation of young people. one of the chapters From the seventh season, they were reminiscing about everyone's thirtieth (30th) birthday… And Everyone was taking it… VERY badly.

The message was clear: becoming an adult and crossing the threshold of youth meant saying goodbye to the time when you were cool. The best years of your life were behind you.

Being 'young' is a fairly recent social invention

Being “old” was not a “problem” until modern societies decided to invent “youth”.

Yes, it's an invention. from the mid-twentieth century, when all the cool attributes (beauty, charisma, art, fashion, groundbreaking ideas,...) became the exclusive property of young people.

Are you under 30? Say hello to #putomolar... just because
Are you over 30? You should have a gray blazer, an office, 2.1 children, and a repetitive life.
Are you over 50?. ...then things get even more serious: It's almost impossible. that you find a job or, directly, they discriminate against you (this is what the WHO, not us).

It's as if, from a certain age, you start subtracting points from your worth every year. As if, from a certain age you would have to constantly struggle to appear younger than your actual age.

The worst enemy of getting older? Perhaps yourself.

Growing up is frowned upon on TV, in movies, in series... to the point that we've even started to believe it ourselves: When you were a teenager… you looked down on “older people,” because what you saw around you was that being “young” was cool. I bet your own parents would say something like, “Oh, if only I were your age…” as if it were a good thing.

Suddenly, one day, you saw a crow's foot beginning to appear… or a gray hair… or a Gen Z recording a TikTok… or someone called you 'Sir!' on the street… and you began, subtly, to become what you were trying to avoid. And let's be honest; you can be your own worst enemy… without even realizing it. The micro-sabotage we inflict on ourselves in front of the mirror, every day, when we're not on guard… is one of the hardest things to identify.

He ageism, So, it's not just another social ill like sexism or racism... but an indirect (learned) way of not loving yourself. We won't stand for that.

Fight for your right (to be old)

What can we do about this, so unconsciously assimilated by everyone? Well, it's more of a mental than a physical task.Here are 3 mantras to repeat to yourself in the bathroom every morning:

You're a Kinder Egg, macerating 🥚🧸
The good things, including your attractiveness, come from within. If you were to bump into your 10-years-younger self on the street... you'd see how immature you were and appreciate what life's scars and experiences have taught you in this new and improved version of yourself.
It's never too late to decide to be young.
Wear whatever you want, grab a backpack for a trip... or take it all in stride. ALWAYS You have time for everything and it's (always) more worthwhile to do things that you enjoy than to meet the expectations that others have of you.
Invest in the most valuable currency; no, it's not bitcoins or NFTs… but in yourself
The greatest celebration you can have of yourself (body and mind) is self-care. Loving yourself, pampering yourself, and making love to yourself, at least weekly (not just a quick wank, but... when was the last time you really put some effort into it?).

Your maturity, wrinkles included, is already at its peak.

For all these reasons, we reject the idea of being "less" when we get older... We are so much more!

We don't like terms that include "anti" (anti-aging, anti-acne, etc.). Although it's true that sometimes we're "forced" to use them to please Google or to make ourselves understood. 😅

But we really want to promote its use, and words like PRO-, MULTI-, and EXTRA- resonate much more with us. Always adding, never subtracting. And with each passing year, we will continue to level up and become better versions of ourselves; happier and more handsome.

Because you can be as young as you choose; proudly showing off wrinkles and gray hair... or taking care of your image because you don't change; Your tastes and the care you give yourself change.

Because just as you begin to appreciate a Sunday without a hangover or sleeping nine hours straight, you celebrate more; you celebrate yourself in other ways. And all of that happens every moment, without denying the cool things we experience as we mature.

P.d: You probably already know that we have a pro-aging cream: WOWYOUNG

If you were thinking of buying it because you're afraid of the passage of time or because you need to meet other people's expectations... you'd better think twice before buying it.

If you get it for the Self-care, investing in yourself, fun and letting loose… ALL IN
