Quote of the Week – Age

By admin

The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. Frank Lloyd Wright

 
Age and image is/was one of my biggest worries all through life. When we are younger, we try to look older and when we’re older, we aim to look younger. I had a handful of auditions this past week and sometimes you can’t help but notice what people do to “fix” themselves. Perhaps in Asia, we don’t have to worry too much bc Asians are blessed with a youthful look, but over here, fillers, botox, lip plumpers, fake lashes, hair extensions and the works are the total norm. Everyone starts to look the same and it makes me wonder, is this ideal beauty?
I was watching SNL w Lindsay Lohan hosting last nite, she’s trying to make a comeback into the spotlight for the right reasons and truth be told, I used to be a huge fan. Lohan, now 25, seems to have aged so much more and over-compensated with work done to her face. Frankly speaking, I’m not a fan of the frozen upper lip and puffy cheeks. There’s nothing youthful about that. On the other hand, megastars like J-Lo are looking oh-so-phenomenal (check out V Mag). That woman has not aged since she coined Jenny from the Block. To each their own, but natural beauty outweighs plasticized versions. Hands down.
Back to the real world, I myself struggle with my own issues, trying, testing new products to maintain that healthy glow, attempting to sleep earlier (memang fail) or eating healthier. Although I wish I had perfect this or taller that or bigger this and smaller that, my views have changed with age. I’m starting to enjoy the imperfections and getting older to me also means being more comfortable in my own skin. If you have body image issues, it’s one thing to work on them to benefit your health but for the little differences that make you unique, consider them as blessings. That’s what makes you special, no matter how old you are.

    This year has been memorable for many reasons and This year has been memorable for many reasons and it has been the year where I have introduced more self-acceptance in my journey. The feeling of lack and the needing to compare has faded into the opportunity to celebrate joy. 

By the act of surrender and flowing into alignment, the gift of abundance has been more evident than ever. Whatever I do to give comes back ten-fold through friendships, relationships and partnerships. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to close out my birthday and give a treat to those who don’t often feel celebrated. I wanted to share my blessings with them. 

Thank you @mykyochon for helping me organise, @ngohub.asia for helping me discover @destinywelfare and @nadiahnasirr / @heyjnrjh for being a part of this. 

More importantly thank you to Irene for offering these children a solid education during these formative years. 

Everyone remembers kindness and it is never a random act. ❤️

I felt so grateful to have everyone in my life, especially those who have taken the time to send birthday wishes. The pink candle represents the last year of this decade for me! So it was indeed a special one. My friends know me best when it comes down to being celebrated on my special day! How can one complain when there is an abundance of love being showered over me. Thank you for one of the best birthdays yet! 🥰🥰🥰

    We all got dressed up for @roshanvaliram’s birthday celebrations last night! Pulled this gown by @syomirizwagupta out of my closet to look the part! (Thank God I still fit!) It was so good to connect with so many faces I haven’t seen in ages and the best thing about friendships are the laughter, the connection and how they bring out the best in you. In isolation, we learn how to connect with ourselves but in communities we learn how to connect with others. When we learn how celebrate one another, we give ourselves the permission to celebrate us. ❤️Happy birthday Roshan! #allineedislove ... See MoreSee Less
