First of all and the most important thing of all, take good care of yourself. Take care of your skin, your body, your manners, your appearance, above all, make youself feel good about yourself. For me, I try to dress up and put on make up whenever I can, be it shopping, travelling but not working(my workplace doesn't allow make-up) etc. Buy new clothes and make up to make your look updated, but don't go overboard, or else your better half will be screaming his lungs at you.
When people call you "auntie", don't take it too personally. It's just a title, nothing offensive. When ill-hearted people say you look ugly, has small breasts, big butt or lousy skin, keep cool. How many of us in this world look like supermodels? Very few percentage, apparently. So instead of being angry and starting to lose your confidence, fight those emotions back. Just tell yourself that there is nothing criminally wrong to look that way. Accept the way you look and you would probably feel better. I have already accepted my fate by the way.
The thing is, it's not just about appearances, it's also about your inner-self. Always smile, be courteous, be graceful(although I'm not), be daring, be courageous, be witty and smart with a sense of humor.
That being said, try not to think about what you can or cannot do when you are in this age or that. Just do it, lah. The world is becoming a smaller place so don't restrict too much on what you can do. You can still wear that cute Lolita dress even when you are like, 35 or 40. Or go to school to get that degree or learn a new language or cooking etc.
Hmm, what else? I am also learning to cope with the stress of getting old. But ultimately, a happy life makes one's age seems unimportant, isn't it?
"Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter."
