I made this blog a long time ago and decided to redo it again. I'm sure everyone is happy because it's Friday, time to do stuff for weekends, planning some trip, others just want to do a staycation, others hibernate, the rest they're just back to their own world again. Me? Friday and weekends are work days for me. No holidays, no day off and no time to be in my own world. That's how cruise life is. Anyways, that's not what I want to share with you folks, today I want to talk about the so called GOLDEN YEARS. The life after 50's or 60's and beyond that. This blog was actually inspired from the movie of Hayao Miyazaki "Howl's Moving Castle" The movie is about a young woman who's been cursed with an old body by a spiteful witch...
It is one of my favorite animated fantasy film, because you will learn a lot from it and one of that is accepting life as you aged.
I
know that I will wither away my hair will go gray, my eyes will be blur and probably I will be slow. I even dreamed of it before. I know I'm on my way there soon. Time passed so
fast I was just 22 when I made this blog and now I'm 28. I know I missed a lot of things in my life and just wonder of it, where does the time goes? There's this part of the movie, the name of the old lady in the movie was Sophie. She was sitting on a chair beside a river. She calmly sit there with her shoal on to keep her warm, wearing her favorite hat she said, "When you're old, all you want to do is stare at the scenery. It's so strange. I've never felt so peaceful before." I like that scene maybe someday that's what I want, just watch the world as it goes by slowly or probably I'm sitting on a rocking chair on my own home with a
beautiful backyard to watch and just relax after a long day; picture out in
my vivid mind the beauty of my young days. I stare at the clouds releasing a deeps sigh where does the time goes?
Only few things you can do when you are old, but I'm
sure you'll appreciate a lot of things in life as you aged. But nothing beats a life when you grow old with someone, a life that you can share as you both wither away. I would love
to grow old with someone I love, very bestfriend
till the end of the time. I remember my mom she used to tell me how she picture her and dad retiring in a provincial place, probably a small house by the sea with a nice garden to plant vegetables and fruits.It's a goal for them to reach.
For
me, old ones are sweet and nice, lovely people though there are
bad tempered ones too. But they need affection and love, for them the world
crumbles and they just needed that for the remaining time they have. Old couples are better relationship goals, their golden years and experience are vast and intact. Whenever I see old couples still being sweet to each other I'm just like wow they look very
charming and more romantic than the ones we see in the movies.
For the person that I will grow old with I'm sure even if you're old and slow, can't do that much I
will love you till the end. Though grey painted most of your hair, the funny wrinkles in your eyes and
cheeks, you might forget things, for me you're still the most handsome man I fell in love with. You're my very best friend. We can still share a
lot of things even if we're old. We can sit in the front porch and enjoy the remaining time we had, but until that day I will always make sure that everyday is an adventure for you and me.
Xoxo,
Ivy
