What I’m too old for at 60 😝

At 60 I am truly the most content and self-assured I’ve ever been. In my teens, I had so many complexes they ruled my life. A “friend” said my thighs were too big and I went on a diet that quickly tipped into a full-blown eating disorder. I went on to struggle with that and depression for the entirety of my 20s.

I wore my hair short because my loving grandmother had us cut our hair and when I see the pictures I cringe. At one point in my 20s, I remember telling someone I couldn’t grow my hair past my shoulders because it wouldn’t grow. Well, one day I decided to stop trimming it and it grew. I cut it again – shoulder length or a bit shorter – after a breakup at 31 and immediately regretted it.

I will wear my hair however it makes me happy, I will wear tight jeans, bikinis, or this fabulous outfit by @katehewko that makes any woman stand out! Exist Loudly is the message on the dress … and exist loudly we should. Use code VIVA15OFF for $15 off any purchase.

At 60 I let other people’s opinions about my life or my appearance roll off my back. I choose to embrace who I am now, because honestly, if not now, when?

I would love to hear your thoughts, no matter your age. In the end, it’s not our age that matters but our vibrancy.

A los 60 años, estoy realmente más contenta y segura de mí misma que nunca. En mi adolescencia, tenía tantos complejos que gobernaban mi vida. Una "amiga" dijo que mis muslos eran demasiado grandes y me puse a dieta, lo que rápidamente se convirtió en un trastorno alimentario. Luché con eso y la depresión durante toda mi década de los 20.

Llevaba el pelo corto porque mi amorosa abuela nos hacía cortarnos el pelo y, cuando veo las fotos, me da grima. En un momento de mis 20, recuerdo haberle dicho a alguien que no podía dejar crecer mi cabello más allá de los hombros porque no crecía. Bueno, un día decidí dejar de cortarlo y creció. Lo corté de nuevo – a la altura de los hombros o un poco más corto – después de una ruptura a los 31 y me arrepenti de inmediato.

Ll evaré el pelo como me de la gana, usaré vaqueros ajustados, bikinis o este fabuloso conjunto de @katehewko que hace destacar a cualquier mujer. ¡Existir en voz alta es el mensaje en el vestido … y deberíamos existir en voz alta!

A los 60, dejo que las opiniones de otras personas sobre mi vida o mi apariencia me resbalen. Elijo aceptar y amar quien soy ahora, porque sinceramente, si no lo hago ahora, ¿cuándo?

Me encantaría escuchar tus pensamientos, sin importar tu edad. Al final, no es nuestra edad lo que importa, sino nuestra vitalidad.
