The Fear Of Aging
<p>It’s my birthday in three weeks, and for the first time in ages, I don’t feel some type of way about getting older. <em>Pun intended!</em><br></p><p>Previously, this time of year would fill me with worries about not being married, having kids, or achieving career success. But strangely, even though I’m older this year than I was in previous years, (when I’m not Benjamin Button) the worry is dissipating and I’m embracing my current life’s pace like I’ve never done before.</p><p>Society sucks more times than not, if you think about it. Imposing unrealistic expectations, causing unnecessary pressure. </p><p><em>Imagine say person no fit age in peace again, you go dey fear join. For a natural occurrence we should all be grateful for and excited about, na so Idan go dey panic. </em></p><p>I would consider myself an underachiever in previous years, comparing myself to others, using an imaginary “life” microscope to be examining what other young people have accomplished. </p><p>I should knock myself on the head, to be honest. </p><p><em>Now I do not give a rat’s ass what anybody thinks, jejely living in the moment, taking this life wey I come one Euro size 38 step at a time. </em></p><p>My biggest lesson at this juncture; is that life na <em>jeje</em>, and aging is an underrated blessing. </p><p>These days when people troll others for being old, I just think “this one wants to die young?”</p><p><em>Yes na! </em></p><p>Because if you’re not thinking of “<em>unaliving</em>” before your time, why is old age a problem for you?</p><p>It is well. </p><p>We’ll all be alright, and a happy birthday to me in advance, biko. 🙂🎉🥳🍾👯</p>
