it's so embarrassing, to tackle something about aging or getting old!!!
i used not to care about my age. but when i got here in uae, and people ask about my age, they made me feel guilty.
first they make me feel flattered that i don't look my age, but after that, reality sets in, that im not getting any younger.
and one friend of mine, actually, my sister's friend, once told me that i will not land a job here in uae because of my age.
when i was 34, i really didn't mind, but after my birthday, and i am now 35, things changed. i feel somewhat embarrassed, and i don't even have a child to be proud of.
maybe i should just count back my age. so, next year, on my next birthday, i will be 34. and by the time i reach age 30, i should count forward again. so my age will range from 30 to 35 only, even if i am 50 already.
i'm so clever, don't you think so?
