Mirror, Mirror

It’s ironic that at an age when I’m finally beginning to feel at home in my skin, I feel like a stranger in my face. Or maybe it’s my face that feels like the stranger.

I’ve never been prone to gerascophobia (from the Greek γηράσκω, gerasko, "I grow old" and φόβος, phobos, "fear"), mostly because I don’t care much about my age. I don’t “admit” how old I am, because to admit something connotes reluctance. I’m not reluctant, I’m an open book. If you ask me (sometimes even if you don’t), I’ll tell you: I’m 69.

And although I spent a lot of years—oh, who am I kidding?—I’ve spent decades fretting about some aspect of me or another, I’m finally moving beyond that. Not that I don’t occasionally backslide, but by in large, I yam what I yam. Whatever and whoever that may be.

I’m not as clear on that as I once was, and that’s a good thing. I don’t miss those invisible labels figuratively stuck to my forehead (by myself and others). Once upon a time, I believed I needed that kind of shorthand to explain myself to myself and others, but as years rolled by, I realized those descriptors were more like prison bars than anything else, and who wants to live in a cage that stunts your growth and limits your freedom to just be, for God’s sake?

But while I’m not afraid of aging, it’s fairly obvious and completely understandable that I am thinking about it more at this stage. About what it means and what it looks like and how to do it gracefully and mindfully.

I just get bewildered by the juxtaposition between the inner me and the outer me. It can be jarring. Because, I kid you not, I don’t feel 69 on the inside. I’m probably stuck somewhere around 40 (except I don’t have menopause to dread, because, oh yeah! I already paid those dues.)

I still love to learn. I love to read well-written history and escapist novels. I love to dance, and I don’t particularly care who’s watching. I like ponytails and nail polish and pie with ice cream. I go hiking (when I can talk the kids into taking me). I write pretty good books and pretty bad poetry and sing along with Elvis Costello.

I roll right along until I see my own reflection.

Even then, it kind of depends on what’s doing the reflecting. The mirrors in my bathroom and on my bedroom vanity are fairly kind. Yes, they show me signs of aging, but they don’t rub my nose in it. But if someone takes a photo and doesn’t get the angle quite right? If I take a selfie or attend a Zoom-something or send a Marco Polo message to my friend MaryAnn?

Yikes! There’s that face. That alien, impossibly wrinkled face, lips wreathed in accordion folds, skin creeping toward thin and translucent, eyelids a little on the crepe-y side.

I’m going to be brutally honest with you here: It always comes as a shock, and it can be very hard to take.

I’m not talking about vanity. I don’t experience a sudden, panicky desire to run to Ulta for $50 wrinkle cream or the full Bare Minerals suite.

I’m talking about a reality check. It’s harsh. I just sort of go ... Oh. My. God.

But I’m not content to stay there.

I want to be able to be comfortable in that face. Exactly as it is. Twenty years from now (please, God), I want to be comfortable in whatever face it is then. One day, when I see my reflection, I hope I’ll be at peace with the strange face in the mirror. I hope to accept and love that face, age spots and wrinkles and all.

“Listen, learning to be me has been a really long journey. I tried being small and feeling things in little ways. It took me a long time to get to know myself, to accept myself, and even on some days to really like and love myself. And then it took me a whole other load of years to have the courage to actually live in the world as that person.” -Tracee Ellis Ross, 49, for the Home issue of Harper's Bazaar.

🌹If you're afraid of growing old and are currently shelling out time, money, or stress in the efforts to hide or prevent your aging Im telling you right now you need to re-invest. Instead put your energy into moving away from this western culture where you peak 15-25 and focus on things like leaving a positive legacy and learning the respect and value of age. You're not 'expiring', your body just looks different. Make sure there is more to you than just looking like you're 20. Because time is a battle you just wont win my dude.🌳

💄👵🏽 ✨

So if you live near your grandmother, ask her if you can do her makeup for her.

These last couple of times I’ve gone to see my grandmother (we are about 8 hours apart, so it’s rare to see her), I asked her if she wanted me to do her makeup. I wanted to do something small for her like how she would braid my hair before field trips when I was a kid.

I gave her a few simple tips I learned in college, and the next time I saw her, she asked me to do it again. This time I had my Too Faced Chocolate Gold palette, and she chose Livin’ Lavish for her eye color. I gave her a full makeover since we were going out, and she was just so radiant. Not just the new look, but just how she carried herself. She seemed more confident and happy.

I know it might seem different, but I think it’s important for older women (or anyone who’s curious tbh) to be able to experience that bond and intimacy that comes from someone else doing your makeup. I think when you get older, people forget that you’re still vulnerable, and there’s times your self-confidence suffers for it.

Reassure your grandparents and other elders that they matter and they are beautiful ☺️✨

Mistaking these two is very common.
