Aging Quote by Lucy Williams

““Being an aging woman in this modern world can be either tragic‌—‌or magic. We watch the body of our youth go through such “socially unacceptable” changes: jiggles, furrows, dimples, puckers, and scars. So many of us feel trapped in a body that is now judged “over the hill” instead of over the top, “seasoned” instead of sexy, or the dreaded “matronly” instead of magnetic. We watch our diets and work out harder than we ever did when young in the attempt to lose those love handles, stop those spreads, or at least slow those sags, but the years and gravity are against us: We are aging, and we live in a society that still worships youthful beauty above all else in half of its population.””
