Ageing and Longevity are like two sides of a coin. 

Ageing is what happens to me as I grow older. 

Longevity is how long I live. 

I want to age well and live long, but it’s not easy. Ageing can bring problems like getting sick, losing memory, feeling lonely or being mistreated. But ageing can also bring opportunities like learning new things, making new friends, having fun and making a difference. 

Ageing is different for everyone. Some people age faster or slower than others. Some people have more or less chances to age well. That’s why I think older people, including me, deserve respect and care. I want to be seen as a person, not as a number. I want to have a say and sway in my life. I want to enjoy ageing and living. 

That’s my perspective on Ageing and Longevity. What’s yours?
