Aging on an aesthetic level is something that does not worry me much, last year I discovered my first gray hair and after that I have found two more in my head 😅 I consider that gray hair is something that you can have even at a young age and if you I am sincere, I like gray hair, I see the hair of ladies who are completely white and who can afford to apply dyes in fantasy colors, for example pink, purple, blue or green, without needing to bleach them. hair and they can also change their style whenever they want, that is a fun way to take advantage of gray hair.
As for wrinkles, I think it is something inevitable, there are people who have surgeries and are completely free to do so, but I think that undergoing general anesthesia just to want to reduce wrinkles is something risky and I would not do it, because for My the consequences of the use of anesthesia on the body and brain is something that I think should be taken with care, I think that a good way to maintain good skin is to apply methods such as good nutrition, drinking plenty of water, not smoking and therefore Of course avoid excessive sun, but wrinkles are something natural and we must accept with dignity, so it is not something that worries me.
However, health is something that worries me a lot, my dad suffered from senile dementia in the last years of his life, diseases like that and Alzheimer's can be inherited, that risk makes me think a lot and I honestly don't want it to happen, I don't care. I would mind having gray hair and wrinkles, aesthetics are irrelevant, as long as I can preserve my mental abilities for as long as possible, for me the mind is something very important, I would not like to grow old and suffer from dementia and become a burden to my son , that is my biggest fear when it comes to aging, I would like my brain to be the least affected by age, however, this is unpredictable and it distresses me just thinking about it.
Likewise, for me, thinking about the future in economic terms is very distressing, I do not consider myself a positive person on this issue, my country currently, due to the economic crisis, has generated great hopelessness, neither retirements nor old-age pensions They are enough for an elderly person to be able to support themselves, if the person has health problems it is very likely that they will suffer even more because family members, even with normal jobs, cannot afford large medical expenses for an elderly person, in my country a A person can work all his life and yet when he reaches old age he can be in a vulnerable situation, without health insurance, without being able to afford his medicines and even without being able to afford any place to rest, in my country there are few people who can afford the expenses of their elderly relatives, in my case I have only one child and I would not like to become a burden for him when I am old, but my country is very hopeless and I do not like to think about it, currently my economy is focused At present, covering the basic expenses of my mother and my son is already a challenge with my income, the crisis does not allow me to have a plan for the future, that is why I am too worried about getting older in economic terms, it is one of my greatest worries and that's why I don’t try to think about that because my mental stability is something that is affected and I try to be as balanced as possible.
