I regret I watched a YouTube video of famous actresses who are no longer young and appealing.
It saddened me to see all the ones who have lost their looks.
In some cases they were completely unrecognizable.
Some genetically lucky ones age well and still look good in their seventies.
Some have lost their looks at far younger ages.
Some women look great in their seventies and probably even when they are older.
Or they have enough money to keep medically making themselves look great.
Whatever the case, I hate how time and aging steal their beauty.
It’s as if time and aging are cruel heartlessly tearing down a woman’s looks.
I suppose I shouldn’t care about this, but it really disturbs me.
It’s like a sacrilege against female youth and beauty to me, and I’m still bothered by it after having watched that video.
I must make it a point to not watch anything like that again.
It makes me wish I could leave this world sooner because of what it does to women, but since I’m willing to leave, I’ll probably be here a lot longer than I want to be.
My mother lived into her late nineties.
Because I feel like an anomaly for my age in many ways and people are always amazed when I tell them my age and say I look far younger, I regrettably might live as long as she did.
I also write regrettably because I’ve seen many times how living too long can destroy the quality of a person’s life, physically and sometimes mentally, as in a dementia — with rare exceptions.
I have read when people die they are reborn young in the afterlife.
I hope that is true for all the women who have been robbed of their looks by time and aging.
