In America we are often taught that getting old is something we want to avoid. We glorify our teenage years, promote plastic surgery, and invite people to use certain products just to feel “young again.” The Get Old Campaign has a new idea – they think getting old is awesome – and they want you to feel the same way!

Instead of fretting about the bad things that come with age, they are focusing on the good things. Things like the wisdom you gain, the things you know, and how you can pass those things on to the ones you love. It is encouraging, educational, and it just may change your perspective before your next birthday!

So if you are upset by getting older, like I am, check out their website and see what they have to offer!
