I Am Still Me (En/ Es)

in #hive-10631622 days ago





Hasn't it happened to you that suddenly someone on the street speaks to you and you feel as if they were not with you, it has happened to me a lot lately, especially when they call me “lady or doñita” with that air of someone who speaks to an older person ha, ha, ha, ha, because I feel the same as always, at least my essence, remains the same although I am aware that I am no longer that girl who had an iron will and energy ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, because our body changes.

And of course I have been noticing those changes; for example I no longer have the same physical resistance of yesteryear, nor the same flexibility, my body has obviously changed and I am fine with that, but emotionally sometimes I feel like that little girl who loved to dance all afternoon or evening or the one who had fun with her friends talking about girl things, I still enjoy it very much ha, ha, ha, ha, but those girls are not so young anymore either. There are things that undoubtedly don't change and they are the ones that make me feel like that cheerful and jovial girl.

So, that's why when someone talks to me as an older person, sometimes I get disconcerted when I see how people perceive me nowadays, especially young people, they see me as a grown up, older adult, and I see myself as the same as always, only with more experience, but the same sometimes joking, crazy among my friends, the same who likes to share with her friends, who enjoys simple things.

Sometimes it is hard for me to adapt to the fact that I can no longer do the same things I did when I was younger, but I am happy with those changes, like the fact that I can no longer read the small print without my glasses, that there are days when my body has no energy, when it is subjected to a lot of hustle and bustle, that the late nights hit me twice as hard and that I often prefer to spend my weekends between my bed, Netflix and snacks than leaving the house, ha, ha, ha, ha, some things have changed, that is undoubted, but I am happy with that.

I no longer tolerate many things that perhaps I used to tolerate, such as loud music, today it stuns me and many other things like these. Writing this, I realize that I am definitely getting older, ha, ha, ha, ha. But what will not change is my spirit, which still remains as that of that little girl, who loved to dance, to go to the sea and play with the waves, to share with friends. I realize that I am still the same, only in a body that does not cooperate as before, ha, ha, ha, ha, it goes slower, but healthy, thank God.

I am entering a new stage of my life, where I just want to live it calmly and peacefully, enjoy it to the fullest, with all the changes it implies, with my gray hair, with my reading glasses, with the wrinkles that are furrowing my skin and everything that goes with the golden years, I receive them grateful, happy and blessed, because not all of us reach these years, greetings friends!

¿A ustedes no les ha pasado que de repente alguien en la calle les habla y se sienten como si no fuera con ustedes?, a mí en estos últimos tiempos me ha pasado mucho, sobre todo cuando me dicen "señora o doñita" con ese aire de quien le habla a una persona ya mayor ja, ja, ja, porque yo me siento igual que siempre, por lo menos mi esencia, sigue siendo la misma aunque estoy consciente que ya no soy esa chica que tenía una energía y voluntad de hierro ja, ja, ja, pues nuestro cuerpo cambia.

Y por supuesto he ido notando esos cambios; por ejemplo ya no tengo la misma resistencia física de antaño, ni la misma flexibilidad, mi cuerpo ha cambiado obviamente y estoy bien con eso, pero emocionalmente a veces me siento como esa chiquilla que le encantaba bailar toda una tarde o noche o aquella que se divertía con sus amigas hablando cosas de chicas, aún lo disfruto mucho ja, ja, ja, pero esas chicas ya no son tan jóvenes tampoco. Hay cosas que no cambian indudablemente y son las que me hacen sentir a aquella chica alegre y jovial.

Entonces, por esto cuando alguien me habla como una persona mayor, a veces suelo desconcertarme al ver como las personas me perciben hoy día, sobre todo los jóvenes, me ven ya grande, adulta mayor, y yo me veo como la misma de siempre, solo con mayor experiencia, pero la misma a veces bromista, alocada entre los míos, la misma que le gusta compartir con sus amistades, la que disfruta de las cosas sencillas.

A veces me cuesta adaptarme a que ya no puedo hacer las mismas cosas que hacía de joven, pero voy feliz a esos cambios, como a que ya no puedo leer las letras pequeñas sin mis lentes, a que hay días en que mi cuerpo no tiene energías, cuando se ve sometido a mucho ajetreo, que ya el trasnocho me pega el doble y que prefiero muchas veces pasar los fines de semana entre mi cama Netflix, cotufas a salir de casa ja, ja, ja, algunas cosas han cambiado, eso es indudable, pero estoy conforme con eso.

Ya no tolero muchas cosas, que quizás antes sí las toleraba, como la música estridente o alta, hoy me aturde y así como estas muchas cosas más. Escribiendo esto, me doy cuenta de que definitivamente ya me estoy poniendo grande o mayor, ja, ja, ja. Pero lo que sí no cambiara es mi espíritu, que aún se mantiene como el de aquella niña, que le encantaba bailar, ir al mar y jugar con las olas, compartir con los amigos. Me doy cuenta de que sigo siendo la misma, solo que en un cuerpo que no le colabora como antes, ja, ja, ja, va más despacio, pero sano, gracias a Dios.

Estoy entrando en una nueva etapa de mi vida, donde solo quiero vivirla en calma y en paz, disfrutarla al máximo, con todos los cambios que implica, con mis canas, con mis lentes de lectura, con las arrugas que vayan surcando mi piel y todo lo que va con los años dorados, los recibo agradecida, feliz y bendecida, pues no todos logramos llegar a estos años, saludos amigos!

I know exactly what you say @brujita18, beautifully written about the way many of us feel when people who are not that much younger, start talking to us as if we're ancient! We still feel young on the inside, and we've earned the right to be a couch potato now and then, and above all we should embrace our aging, life is short, and so very precious!

That's right, our spirit is still young even if our body is not with us hahaha hahaha but we have to accept ourselves at every stage of our lives and move forward, cheers!!!!
