The Alternative is Death.

(It’s almost like writing a death wish)

I truly need your support, use your support, cherish your support, and won’t let it go to waste.

Want to change up the pace? You can read some of a fiction novel I shared here as thanks.

Want to read some novellas? Here are some on Kindle (though I can send to anyone who needs the help). There are even more than you see listed here, so reach out if you’re in a reading mood!

Want to read on?

Shutting up now…

But one last thank you for the road: THANK YOU!

Someone said this in a comment about the actor and activist, Milla Jovovich:

“She was [beautiful]. She aged.”

It got me thinking about something much deeper (despite my defensiveness of she, alone)…. and I would like everybody in the world to share this video.

Yup. Every single person. And not for click bait or rage bait or any bait (I’m a fish pacifist), but because I genuinely feel at the end of my own emotional fishing line.

And I want answers.

My question for you is: “What is the alternative?”

We either age, which is time passing.. or we die.

“She aged”. Well, she can't stop time. None of us can. You certainly can’t.

We are all going to age regardless of gender. Every single one of us. So when can we just accept it and change our views on it? How can we?

When we reprimand human beings for letting time pass, the alternative is us not having the privilege of time passing.

It’s almost like writing a death wish under a Vogue beauty secret. And I know that’s a hyperbolic inflammatory way to say that point… I know I’m revved up… but: DO you wish someone dead?

Because every time we see a comment like this towards women (or anyone) about their aging in a dissatisfied, dissapointed or negative way (which this example undoubtedly was), please think of it that way.

By wishing someone could stop time for you… you’re wishing them to not have time any more.

And is that worth it? Is that worth wishing, writing down?

Someone make that make sense.

Or let's talk about it like it is. Because those are the implied terms that we're talking about, without realizing we are talking about them. And writing it down where generations of young men and women can see those words, and absorb them, and think they too will become past tense to strangers while they’re still very much in the present.

Aging is living.

The alternative is death.

Make the choice.

THANK YOU!
