“Learn daily to have a love affair with the beautiful person you are, develop a romance with your own story. Don't compare yourself to anyone, because each one of us is a unique character in the theater of life” (CURY, 2005, p.1).
We women, who over the years have fought for our freedom of expression, financial independence and the right to vote, considered for many years as the strong sex, today show ourselves as the weaker sex and slaves to the standard of beauty imposed by the media and that MANY WOMEN ACCEPT IT AS TRUTH, FAILING TO SUPPORT THOSE WHO ARE NOT WITH THIS STANDARD. How many times have I had to hear: "Wow, you're a lot older, How can you live as a model being chubby and over 40?" Well, don't stop being a woman after 40 years of age. I didn't stop being a woman because I was chubby.
I'm just not a copy of anyone else and I LOVE what I am!
Inspired by the book “The Old Age” by Simone de Beauvoir, I began to review concepts such as freedom, time, friendships, security, projects, family, vitality. Being a woman significantly changes dreams, attitudes and expectations. It is inevitable to touch on themes such as the body, relationships when it comes to getting older.
I quote Martin Luther King: "I have a dream that one day the elders will live in a nation where they will not be judged by the strain of their muscles, but by the content of their character."
Learn to live with the different. Because the problem is not in the different, but in the prejudice that you demonstrate!
This is me. Almost 46 years old, happy as a life! Loving me more than ever!
