Aging on Your Own Terms: A Revolution Against Getting "Old"
What begins as frustration often becomes wisdom. When Steven Petrow started jotting down "stupid things I won't do when I get old" after watching his parents struggle with aging, he unknowingly launched a personal revolution. As a cancer survivor in his sixties with experience caring for elderly parents, Petrow occupies a unique vantage point-neither young enough to dismiss aging concerns nor old enough to have surrendered to them. His journey reveals that aging isn't about avoiding wrinkles or maintaining youthful appearances. It's about maintaining dignity, purpose, and joy despite society's narrow expectations. The real challenge isn't growing older-it's preventing ourselves from becoming "old" in the ways we've been conditioned to fear: isolated, irrelevant, inflexible, and defined by limitations rather than possibilities. Aging happens to everyone, but surrendering to outdated stereotypes is entirely optional.
