Okay, everyone's heard about the "inner child", right? The innocent creature that lives inside our "I" needs love and care and with whom you need to talk at times in order to learn to feel sorry for yourself. I'm a big fan of this concept. This is really a healing thing. But lately I think less about him and more focus on the INNER OLD WOMAN * who also lives inside my “I” and whom I hope to become one day. Because she's so fucking cool.
Real old women are always cool. I'm talking about those who have already seen everything and are no longer afraid of anything. Those whose world was destroyed almost to the ground twenty times. Those who once buried their dreams and their loved ones - and survived it. Those who suffered from pain and experienced it too. Those whose innocent trust in the world has been betrayed ten thousand times … and who have experienced it too.
The world is a scary place. But the Real Old Woman cannot be scared. The word "old woman" is considered offensive by many, but not me. I respect him. The old woman is a classic character in myths and folklore; she often possesses great wisdom and supernatural powers. It happens that she guards the road to another world. She is extremely perspicacious, even if she is blind. She is not afraid of death, that is, IS NOT AT ALL AFRAID.
At home, I hung an entire wall with photographs of my beloved old women, which inspire me. For example, one of the photos shows a Ukrainian grandmother who lives (just imagine!) In Chernobyl. There is a whole group of such grandmothers who returned to these places contaminated with radiation and settled there. Do you know why? They like it so much.
They like Chernobyl because they come from there. They are all peasant women. They don't want to be refugees. They suffered from being resettled from their land after the accident. They hated life in the shabby criminal areas of the big city. So they chose independence and returned to the most radioactive place on earth. In those places that many would consider hell, they set up a cheerful commune of pensioners.
Is it safe? Of course not! So what? If you are 90 years old and you have worked hard all your life, what is “safety” to you? Yes, they drink this water. Yes, they plant vegetables in radioactive soil, grow and eat. They also catch local wild pigs, slaughter them and eat them too. They are old. Afraid of radiation at their age? Funny.
They take care of one another. They chop and carry firewood themselves. They drive moonshine. They gather, drink this moonshine and remember the war and Stalin's times. And still they laugh, and then they go, slaughter another radioactive boar and make a sausage out of it.
If there is ever a Tough Guy competition going on, pit this granny against any young Tough Guy you have on hand. I guarantee that the Chernobyl grandmother will win with one left hand.
We live in a society where it is customary to romanticize youth. In our culture, youth is an achievement. But look at such a classic old woman as in the photograph, and you will understand how stupid it is. There is no wisdom greater than the wisdom of overcoming. There is no self-control stronger than that of a woman who grows a vegetable garden on radioactive soil - and nothing, lives for herself.
So every time something happens and my Inner Child starts to panic, I just ask myself, "WHYC?"
That is, "What Would My Inner Old Woman Do?"
Ask yourself this question. Hear what she will answer you.
One thing I promise. It is unlikely that she will say: "Be nervous."
She will most likely say, "DON'T GIVE UP!" Instead.
So hold on there, don't give up!
All of you are awesome old women to come.

The Ideal Woman Of Russia In The XXI Century. My Survey Destroyed All The Myths About The Ideal Woman From Gloss. Just Imagine What The Ideal Woman Means In The Opinion Of Men
The ideal woman of Russia in the XXI century. My poll shattered all the myths about the ideal glossy woman. Unfortunately, there is no single image of an ideal woman: it is always adapted for a specific period in the history of a particular people, for that specific social model, social role that a particular woman plays or wants to play.
Message From The Wise Old Woman
Recently I read Elizabeth Gilbert's excellent article on the Inner Old Woman, which asked myself a question: what would my Inner Old Woman say - when the inner child is scared, confused, does not know what to do? I asked myself this question in a broader sense - what does my Inner Old Woman tell me in terms of the main message?
I AM THIRTY YEARS OLD TODAY. ODE TO WOMAN
Much and detail has been written about the crisis of thirty years for women. However, the majority of popular articles rather fix not a "crisis" in its true understanding, as a chance full of danger, but a certain depression, depressiveness and despondency.
