Aging has advantages that come unexpectedly

Growing up, I never thought much about what my life would be like when I got old.

It wasn’t until recently I realized getting old and ugly has some significant perks. When I was young, I never thought of it this way, but I’m starting to realize it now. It makes me smile to see the perks I’m discovering.

Nobody wants to admit they’re ugly. They don’t spend enough time looking in the mirror to come to that universal conclusion One perk of aid is the help you sometimes get from people. The other day, for example, I was walking to a store. I’d hurt my leg a couple of days before, and because of that, I was using a cane and looked like I was limping. I felt grateful for the kindness I received, which warmed my heart.
