And women? Something strange begins, as if after 30 they stop being noticed, as if their role in life becomes secondary. As if they turn into decorations. 🌫

And so I sit and think - why is this? Why do guys get a "zest" with age, while girls seem to have something taken away? I don't understand what kind of rule this is in life. Maybe it's just some kind of social game, where the rules are written by men? Or is it nature's will? But in any case, it feels like injustice.

A woman after 30 is no longer perceived as easily as in her youth, and it seems as if the world is telling her: “Well, that’s it, now you’re just a background. Not the main character.” But a woman with experience, with lived emotions and stories is much more interesting than just a young, beautiful picture. It seems that you can take care of yourself, develop, be bright and confident, but for some reason this does not always receive due recognition. It seems like there is a taboo on a woman who lives for herself, and not just for someone’s views and expectations. 🚫

And here’s another thing, with age, men seem to become more respectable, more prestigious, and this attracts, makes you pay attention to them. And a woman seems to always have to fight to remain in the spotlight. And if she suddenly stops meeting some standards, she seems to be written off. It’s very offensive.

Honestly, I sometimes wonder: is it worth playing this at all? Maybe you just need to stop paying attention to other people's standards and value yourself for who you are? But for some reason it's so hard when everyone constantly reminds you that "you're not the same anymore." 😞

But you know, I'm surprised and happy that there are men who see in a woman not only youth, but also personality, inner light and experience. They are the ones who make this injustice less noticeable. Maybe over time there will be more and more such people and the standards will change?

What do you think about this? Do you ever have thoughts like men can be "cooler" with age, but for some reason it's harder for women? 🤷‍♀️ I think, honestly, it's time to stop dividing people by these patterns. Everyone deserves to be themselves and feel great at any age.

These are the thoughts in my head today. I just wanted to share, because sometimes it's hard to remain silent when there are so many "rules" around that no one wrote, but for some reason everyone follows. I hope you also feel that age is not a sentence, but just a new chapter. And let this chapter have room for joy, freedom and true beauty.
