My 40 Year Old Body

It's such a bummer that I can't get along with accepting I am not "youthful" and "vibrant" anymore. I still exercise quite a bit, though. Recently the infinite wisdom of the *** algorithm figured out I had an interest in dance. And for some reason it has been showing me a bunch of ballet. I remember being in ballet at 15 and taking in with no level or seriousness at that time. It was too hard. I had no character for hard work. Fast forward and now I'm 40 and asking AI if it's too late to do the whole dance thing. As I typed that I made a 1/3rd disappointed, 1/3 amused, 1/3rd unamused face. Thanks Meta. Anyway, I've been chatting with AI and it was like... "The most ideal body weight is no more than 130lbs" and all the videos I see of graceful ballerinas are determined children and teen girls doing the commitment. So I'm like well crap. I am old. You don't see delicate 40+ year old women with their never going away cellulite and food pouch plieing across any grand stage. And then AI was gracious and was like "Yea but there are 40+ people doing ballet." And it named one. I looked her up and was.... sigh. Even more depressed. I wish society didn't train my sad brain into thinking anything over 40 ain't cute anymore. I'd like to unlearn it but I know better than that. I can live with it though. Maybe I'll figure that one out. Maybe not.
