When I was young, society had all kinds of rules and judgements about what I could and couldn’t do.

When I got married and had kids, surprise, there were more expectations and judgements.

Middle age, there were predictions that I should be at my peak. What ever.

I became a senior, at the start of the pandemic. Some on social media said “Seniors should just die, so they could go back to work.”

Then all the ageism stories I heard began to pile up in my memory. I was depressed.

Today, I’ve decided that I’m not fully baked and I’ve got more to do.

At every major crossroads, I’ve had to decide whether I am going to let other people define who I am or if I am going decide for myself who I am and what I care about.

I had to get out of my own way & overcome the negative opinions of others.

I’ve learned this will continue for life.
