Age is an accumulator, not a countdown timer / La edad es un acumulador, no un contador regresivo (eng-esp)

Hello, friends of @holos-lotus.

Society treats age, especially for women, as a countdown to irrelevance. You reach a certain age and it's assumed that your energy, curiosity, and ability to contribute begin to decline.

I see it the other way around. Each year isn't a subtraction; it's an addition. You don't accumulate years, you accumulate resources: experience, practical knowledge, resilience, and above all, a mental clarity that youth lacks.

Youth isn't a birthdate. It's an attitude. It's the energy to start new projects at fifty because you now have the confidence you lacked at thirty. It's the charisma that comes from being sure of who you are and what you're worth, not from the need to please everyone. It's the character forged by overcoming crises, by having made mistakes and learned from them without falling apart.

I have more energy now than I did at twenty-five because I know how to manage it. I don't waste it on drama, unfounded anxieties, or trying to please others. My focus is sharper. My desire to do things is greater because time feels more precious and selective. I no longer want to do everything; I want to do what matters.

Saying someone is "young at heart" is a mistake. It's not a spirit; it's a legacy. It's the combination of youthful curiosity with the wisdom of experience. Years don't make you old inside; they liberate you. They take away the fear of what others will say, allow you to speak clearly, and give you authority without having to ask for it.

True youth is the ability to keep learning, adapting, and growing, and that doesn't fade with age. It intensifies. Every wrinkle on my face represents a lesson learned that makes me stronger today. That's not aging. It's improving.

Hola, amigos de @holos-lotus.

La sociedad trata la edad, especialmente la de las mujeres, como una cuenta regresiva hacia la irrelevancia. Cumples cierto número y se asume que tu energía, tu curiosidad y tu capacidad de aportar empiezan a declinar.

Yo lo veo al revés. Cada año no es una resta; es una suma. No acumulas años, acumulas recursos: experiencia, conocimiento práctico, resiliencia, y sobre todo, una claridad mental que la juventud no tiene.

La juventud no es una fecha de nacimiento. Es una actitud. Es la energía para empezar nuevos proyectos a los cincuenta porque ahora tienes la confianza que no tenías a los treinta. Es el carisma que nace de la seguridad en quién eres y lo que vales, no de la necesidad de agradar a todos. Es el carácter forjado por superar crisis, por haber cometido errores y haber aprendido de ellos sin derrumbarte.

Tengo más energía ahora que a los veinticinco porque sé administrarla. No la malgasto en dramas, en ansiedades infundadas o en complacer expectativas ajenas. Mi foco es más nítido. Las ganas de hacer son mayores, porque el tiempo se siente más preciado y selectivo. Ya no quiero hacerlo todo; quiero hacer lo que importa.

Decir que alguien es "joven de espíritu" es un error. No es un espíritu; es un bagaje. Es la combinación de la curiosidad de la juventud con el criterio de la experiencia. Los años no te hacen vieja por dentro; te liberan. Te quitan el miedo al qué dirán, te permiten hablar claro, te dan autoridad sin tener que pedirla.

La verdadera juventud es la capacidad de seguir aprendiendo, adaptándote y creciendo, y eso, con los años, no se pierde. Se potencia. Cada arruga en mi cara corresponde a una lección aprendida que me hace más fuerte hoy. Eso no es envejecer. Es mejorar.
