As people age, their priorities and preferences shift noticeably. Many express a desire to disengage from trends and societal pressures regarding appearances, focusing instead on comfort and practicality. This includes a rejection of elaborate beauty routines and a cavalier attitude toward fashion. Additionally, the enthusiasm for traditional outdoor experiences like camping wanes significantly, as older individuals seek vacations that offer modern comforts such as air conditioning, private bathrooms, and convenience, rather than enduring less comfortable and more labor-intensive experiences.
Worrying about my appearance, and whether I'm 'on trend.' I learned from this article that skinny jeans are 'out.' I don't care - I'm not going out and replacing a bunch of perfectly good pants with new ones just because some strangers in the fashion world have decided they're uncool. Half of my tops are men's T-shirts and cardigans; several of them are hand-me-downs from my father. I also refuse to spend a whole lot of money and an hour a day putting on fourteen different makeup products, just to take it all back off again before bed.
I eventually had to refuse to participate in camping anymore. Excessive heat? Nope. Sleeping on the ground? Nope. No bathroom? Nope. Cooking and cleaning more while camping than at home? Nope. If it's not a vacation for me, I won't go. Give me A/C, clean sheets, an attached bathroom, a continental breakfast, and dinner out. THAT'S a vacation.
