Lately Seda and I have been watching this show on Netflix called Grace and Frankie. It’s about two older women who develop a friendship after finding out that their husbands have been in a relationship together for the past 20 years. I’ve been really enjoying watching it because not only is it really funny but I feel like I’ve never watched a show where the story is centered around two old women.
It’s been really cool to see representation of aging and older people in general. Grace and Frankie do not shy away from talking about things like menopause, hearing loss and learning/trying new things when you’re older. There is so much societal pressure on women especially to try and not age as much as possible. I used to want to get Botox and work done when I got older but now I see that aging is privilege. A lot of people look at growing old in such a negative light but imagine how many things I’ll know and experiences I’ll have had when I’m 75. How much more I’ll understand about myself and other people. How many books I’ll have read and places I’ve been, people I’ve met. I can’t wait to get old and have gray hair and wrinkled hands. It’s the in between, from now and until then, that’s the hard part!
But when the time comes, I’m going to be the coolest old woman.
