Hello citizens of Secville,

Welcome to The Flutter, Secville's new weekly thread focused on a specific topic each week. Each issue will be posted the following Wednesday, so be sure to keep an eye out! To start out, our first topic is all things ageing.

---

Ageing is something that eventually catches up to us all; we either accept it, or fight against it. Personally, I am terrified of ageing and plan to fight it to the grave. Though our healthy life years seem to be going up, there is still no real way to stretch our lifespans much farther than they've already been stretched. There is also the added issue of physical ageing and a loss of youthful beauty, which is more terrifying to me than the physical disabilities which typically characterise the ageing body. If I could stay 24 forever, that would be great!

What are your thoughts on ageing Secville? Feel free to answer the poll above and drop a message if you have anything else you'd like to add beyond that. 

Love,

Aging is a natural stage as life progresses.

I think that given the advances in technology and our understanding of the relationships between nutrition, exercise, external environmental effects, psychology, physiology, and other branches of science, that the aging process in developed countries is changing. People are living longer. Society will change because of this. I think US culture is not accommodating or welcoming of natural aging. I think there's almost no aspiration to be wise in American culture. So you end up with elderly people with the emotional drama of teenagers, which is simply unappealing.

Amen to that last sentence, lmao. Perpetual immaturity is a bit of a turn off. It's why I prefer to date older men actually, they seem more distinguished and put together than most of the dating pool around my age. Also, I suppose in the next thousand years there will likely be some breakthroughs in reversing senescence with the potential to overhaul our social landscape, though we'll obviously be long gone by then. Would have been interesting to see nonetheless. 

I'm sure my opinion on ageing will sweeten over time. I think the younger you are, the more afraid you are of losing your youth. When I'm 30 I'll read this back and, by that point, hopefully be warmer to the idea of accepting the process rather than fearing it.

I find it much more terrifying than death. Not looking forward to it.

True, it's always a scary thought to think about your parents or loved-ones getting older. Unfortunately all of my grandparents are already dead, but it's scary to think that my dad and mum are 60 in 8 and 9 years respectively, especially because I remember them turning 40 like it was yesterday.

I can already see the benefits of modern technology comparing myself to my Mom. I have a skincare routine. I meet people who ask about how I'm doing in college or if I'm graduating soon but I graduated in 2008! It's pretty spiffy. Mom's lamented to me about her sunspots but she doesn't use sunscreen. And there's modern light sunscreens now that aren't thick and greasy on the face. Same thing about her wrinkles; all she does is wash her face. And... nothing. You know that tight feeling after soaping up your face and you think that means the soap is working? Well, that's all the moisture (which contributes to elasticity of the skin) getting sucked away, which increases wrinkles. I moisturize and hydrate loads and I see the results.
Same thing with life habits; I track the water I drink and I don't consume soda or alcohol (unless it's a social event and that's not happening in the time of COVID).
I ought to go to bed earlier, but I'm getting better about it.
I should exercise more and I plan to do so, especially as I live in a sunny climate that suits taking more walks. And once I save up, I think I'll take up biking.
I plan to vegetable garden more and I already planted fruit trees, so that there will be more organic fruits/veg in my diet.
I'll get back to playing my violin (to exercise my brain!) once my kid's potty trained and doesn't need constant supervision. And other brain-stretching hobbies to keep me sharp.

I like my age. I know things, I have experience and I'm not wandering around being a dummy about professional systems like I was in college. It's pretty okay.

The breakthroughs in skincare and its increased accessibility is a game-changer not just for anti-ageing but skin cancer prevention too. It's crazy how many people ignore sunscreen as if it's an optional step, when in reality UVA radiation causes 80% of facial skin ageing. My mum is the same as yours; complains of a sun spot, but won't wear sunscreen. It's a bit frustrating to tell someone the consequences of foregoing sunscreen and having them still ignore it LOL. I'm excited to see the new advancements in skincare in the future anyway, especially since my heart is torn between dermatology and cardiology. We'll see what happens!

Also it's amazing that you can play the violin, I was trying to learn piano but it just wasn't happening for me lmfao. I guess it's never to late to start again though, wish me luck!

Suncsreen is a must and it's excellent that it's so easy now to find cruelty free sunscreens and the ones that don't harm coral reefs.

i know i am not from secville, but i want to add some interesting news to this interesting topic.
recently i have stumbled upon this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjdpR-TY6QU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRt7LjqJ45k

it says that scientists have successfully reversed aging on mice. they also said that it's gonna take 10 more years until they perfect this science to suit humans. so if you are still around by the age of 34, you can reverse aging to the age you desire. also, there is this ad for an eye cream.
the product is called thin "lizzy puffy eye remover".
https://ucarecdn.com/5354bab9-9099-45c8-9997-17e8b69aa442/
it removes wrinkles from around the eyes and mouth after 7 minutes. makes you 15 years younger. you'd think a product like that that makes someone younger for a few days, they could easily prolong it for years or decades. but it's all because of business, ya know? conspiracies maybe?.... but i digress.
there is also this amazing beauty guru that makes "facial yoga exercises" to reduce aging and wrinkles. her channel name is "blush with me-parmita"
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCTzjL5U0a2TTHoFTSRUxCg
i think she is in her 40s but she looks amazing. anyways there are so much information online on how to look and feel youthful. i hope i helped in a way.
