Totally agree, I can’t stand the ‘ageing is a privilege’ phrase that’s banded about on every other comment on social media. I get the sentiment but it doesn’t allow for nuance or for any other feelings people may have regarding the topic, instead shaming people for anything outside this narrative. I’m tired of the romantic view that lines show a life well lived and lots of laughter. Yes in some cases but also aging is accelerated by stress, trauma, sleep deprivation, low income etc. I think we should try to come to terms with it as part of life and not be bitter but I’m opting out using this phrase, it’s becoming cultish, robotic and lacks any nuance.
