Remember that aging is a privilege from "summary" of I Feel Bad About My Neck by Nora Ephron
Aging is not for sissies. It's true. It's a challenge. It's a struggle. It's a battle. It's a war. It's a grind. It's a pain. It's a drag. It's a bummer. It's a nightmare. It's a horror show. It's a circus. It's a zoo. It's a madhouse. But here's the thing: it's also a privilege. Yes, a privilege. A privilege denied to many. A privilege taken for granted by most. A privilege that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. A privilege that catches you by surprise. A privilege that slaps you in the face. A privilege that kicks you in the gut. A privilege that knocks you on your ass. So remember that aging is a privilege. Remember it when you look in the mirror and see those lines and wrinkles staring back at you. Remember it when you feel those aches and pains creeping up on you. Remember it when you can't quite remember where you put your keys or what you had for breakfast. Remember it when you struggle to keep up with the latest trends and technologies. Remember it when you long for the days when you could eat whatever you wanted without gaining a pound. Remember that aging is a privilege. A privilege to grow older. A privilege to grow wiser. A privilege to grow stronger. A privilege to grow kinder. A privilege to grow more compassionate. A privilege to grow more patient. A privilege to grow more grateful. A privilege to grow more humble. A privilege to grow more accepting. A privilege to grow more loving. So embrace it. Embrace the privilege of aging. Embrace the wisdom that comes with it. Embrace the experience that comes with it. Embrace the laughter that comes with it. Embrace the tears that come with it. Embrace the joy that comes with it. Embrace the sorrow that comes with it. Embrace the beauty that comes with it. Embrace the ugliness that comes with it. Embrace the reality that comes with it. Because in the end, it's all a part of the privilege of aging. And it's a privilege worth cherishing.
