Dr. Brandy SchillaceListen, if you are feeling like it’s too late to follow your dreams or to change things, recall that the very first LIFE ON EARTH film by David Attenborough came out in the 70s when David was 53. Think of every amazing thing he has done since to change the world and promote the environment; these happened in his 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and now at 96 he is working on a new documentary in Scotland. I’m 45. It’s like I haven’t been born yet in David years. #nature #environment #aging #hope
LadyT@bschillace errrm but he came from a privileged background with hoards of influential contacts. Not the same opportunities for a single mum on benefits living in social housing
@LadyT if you have a peek at one of my earlier replies, what I want to highlight about David is not his success/career but his continued enthusiasm for new things—that is, at 50, or 60, 70+ still looking forward and not thinking your time has past. It might be the decision to start a new hobby, or to learn a new fact, or to make new relationships. Everything you do has meaning, and age is no limit.
@bschillace you really don't understand poor people or their lives if you think it's just that simple
@LadyT you are of course entitled to your opinion. But please do not make assumptions. You don’t know anything about my background, my socioeconomic upbringing, or my disability.
