If you can’t feel or find peace, you can try to get closer to it.
yes.
With a martini.
That’s a beautiful way. A beautiful martini is always a nice way to relax. you have to live your life. No restrictions except for hard drugs. It’s an 80/20 approach.
Can you talk about the 80/20 approach? What does 20 look like?
It’s 80 percent healthy living, and 20 percent is going out for martinis, going out for pizza and burgers, and staying up late with friends. Balanced.
Is this what your 20s look like? Pizza, burgers, martinis, and late nights with friends?
Yes, quite a bit. My friends and I are good at having fun. We’ve been doing that for 30, 35 years.
Do you have any hopes for how to tackle aging?
With positivity and gratitude. So we’re still here. What is the alternative? I try not to think about getting older. I try not to think about age. The world always tells us how old you are and what a woman should do in society when you reach this age.
I think we understand how sensitive people can be. It’s like, “Okay, if you say this happens at this age, that’s what happens at this age.” But then you say, “No!” Who makes these rules?!’ Do our muscles weaken as we age? No, let’s make them strong. We can make our own rules. It’s all bullshit.
A big part of your age is having a community, right?
yes! And we are losing that community to screens, computers, phones, iPads, and watches. Those of us who were born into a generation that didn’t have those things were lucky enough to find ways to entertain ourselves and be creative by sitting around talking, being bored… You won’t get bored.
Every time my kids say they’re bored, I think, “Thank you, you made me feel like a great parent.”
yes! Thank you for being boring. I’m glad you’re bored. I think that’s what I’m worried about. This bubble wrap generation and the overly sifted TikTok generation. Who knows what that will produce.
lots of loneliness.
Yes, loneliness, anxiety, mental health issues, everything. I mean, we’re so grateful because we’re seeing that… What’s his name? Andrew? he wrote anxious generation.
