I Aged in Reverse! ✨

Hi cuties, 🌸✨

After writing yesterday’s post on literature inspired by folklore and mythologies of the old world, I did what any fangirl would do - I turned on Debussy 🎶 and enjoyed it with candles 🕯️, and the Germanic epic poem, Beowulf 📜.

If you haven’t read it, then check out the summary here! It’s a heroic legend based on the events of the 6th century, about the sacrifice, courage, and purpose of a young man, with elements of folk and pagan beliefs.

Sadly, they don’t make this literature anymore. I read it first in 5th Grade when my Narnia fever peaked 🦁📚.

Today’s literature and art are mostly depressing. Teens and young adults are exposed to zero books, or books on themes of infidelity, depression, addiction, etc., and media such as the much-popularized Netflix series Euphoria 📺. I tried watching a few episodes that my 17-year-old sister was hooked on and I was shocked at how graphic and demoralizing a show can get.

The acting was 10/10, and maybe such themes in life are an unfortunate reality for some. But they do persuade and mold young minds, who grow up thinking there isn’t much to life other than pain and disappointment. There is little to no learning from exposure to such art for the younger generation.

No wonder teens and young adults are without personality and zest for life! My sister will join Uni this year, and her expectation is the running theme of Euphoria. Poor girl has aged 6 - 7 years ahead of her actual age emotionally, skipping the many stages of experience, trial and error, and mistakes and accomplishments in life!

She tells me daily in anxious tones how tired she is with life 😟. Children these days neither look nor behave like…. Well, children.

This is the problem with the depressing art and perspective these days. It’s aging people.

Aging is not in our DNA. 🧬

The concept of aging is a form of manipulation. The body’s wisdom works in miraculous ways. 🌟

The cells in our body are constantly renewed and upgraded. People “age” because of emotional troubles, and their prolonged manifestations in our bodies.

Once these manifestations have a more permanent place in our psyche, our organs catch up and get infected with it like a virus. A state of low vibration and negativity sets in.

If we stop believing in the good that life has to offer, and how miraculous it is that we are breathing and existing 🌍✨, then we will be dead before our actual death. This is my bone of contention with the dreary modern literature and cinema.

The world is filled with magic, and every day can be an adventure if we want it to be. It’s a limited belief that we “get old” and can’t enjoy certain things. You know-

🌿 Our skin is created fresh every 3 months

🌿 Blood - every 6 months

🌿 Lungs - annually

🌿 Liver heals itself in 18 months

🌿 Brain entirely renews in every 3 years

🌿 Skeleton regenerates itself in 10 years

🌿 Muscles and Tissues - 15 years

If we consume good content, media, food, and company - it’s safe to say we will stay young forever! 🌼🌱

“We suffer more in imagination, than in reality.” 🌈

Let’s start believing in the magic of the living, and focus on what’s to come. Read and watch the Narnia and The Lord of the Rings series 📖🧙‍♂️.

Believe me, you will age in reverse every day 😊

Love,

Zitni Zun 💖
