Appreciate yours, no matter what...

If you ask the accountants, they'll tell you that it is natural to accumulate depreciation to some of your assets with the passage of time. In humans, this decline in tissues and organs is called aging. Now except you're differently endowed, with a J-lo or Viviane type of physique perhaps, or you constantly revalue and maintain your assets through regular workouts (which is a great thing), your once round behind that used to look mighty fine in those jeans will drop, your belly will get wrinkly, and your tits will become saggy, making it discouraging to flaunt a cleavage.

It shouldn't take an anatomist to know that, and nobody is saying that that new phase is not pleasing. In fact, if you ask me, and without judging me, I think the yummy-mummy, by that I mean an attractive middle-aged woman is like no other, because her state of being confident in herself is what's represented in her physical form.

However, refusing to accept a natural phenomenon like aging is like trying to defy the Creator's right of ownership, but that's not my business. What pisses me off is seeing grown women expressing envious feelings towards younger folks, for being in possession of attributes that they too once had. As if Olof Njie didn't tell them that "hew hewy ayuut" (there's no harm in being a once-was). Some grown women, mostly at workplaces, will try to make life miserable for younger ones just like that, accusing them of attempting to attract notice or admiration. The victims of such verbal onslaughts are mostly those drool inducing ladies that some CEOs cannot leave behind when they head off to meetings at their corporate board rooms.

Sometimes when I overhear those "she this" and "she that" remarks I am like: Dayum! Cut them some slack my friend. It's a known fact that there wouldn't be new school if it wasn't for the old school, so take that credit and know that it's not their fault that they keep stealing the show like you used to do. What happened to the saying: "Show 'em what mama gave you?" Should it now be repealed, recasted or re-coined to read: "but when mama's around, sit back and let her show 'em what she's left with." But that's gonna be really queer and kinky.
