Shereene Idriss reflects on worrying about her appearance at 18 in Mexico and warns against harsh self-criticism and preventative Botox. She suggests simpler approaches to aging well instead of extreme measures.
In your 20s or 30s and you're thinking, oh my God, I I can't tolerate how I'm aging. I can't tolerate how I'm looking. Wait till you hit 40. You're going to look back and think, I was an idiot getting dressed this morning. And I had an epiphany to when I was 18 years old. I remember being in Mexico at the time and thinking my arms were fat, refusing to wear tank tops in 95 degree weather. And when I looked back at that picture this morning, I realized I was an idiot. But also, if you care about how you're going to age you, that's not bad either. But the answer is not to hit yourself in the process. Get swayed into preventative Botox. The answer is much simpler than what you think.
