Why do we treat “old” like a dirty word? Let’s change that narrative, starting today. Aging is a privilege, not an insult. It’s a reminder of the life we’ve lived, the wisdom we’ve gained, and the experiences we’ve shared. In my latest video (featured below), I explain why “old” should be a badge of honor—not something to fear or dismiss.

Am I Old? Yes and That's Not An Insult. Let me tell you why!

Insulting someone by calling them old is the most ridiculous insult ever.

If you were young and came down with a sickness, you would be praying to the Lord to let you grow old.

There’s only one alternative to age. Nobody wants that.

Your goal in life should be to get old.

I hope you will feel proud the next time you look in the mirror at your changing skin, brush your graying hair, or find a little more bludge in your belly.

And if anyone calls you old, I hope you say, “Hell yeah I am and damn happy to be”! 

Happy Life, Aging and Travel.
