- Teacher, tell me how much longer I have to wait for a miracle? When will it finally happen? Answer. Long time to wait? When when?

- If you wait, then never.

Only now I realized that happiness comes to those who know how NOT to wait. Who does not set conditions and requirements. Who once gave a request to the Universe, and then just relaxed and lived in peace, realizing in his soul that everything would happen exactly as he asked.

Beauty comes to those who know how to live.

And only now I realized that, like happiness, beauty comes to those who know how to live.. Just relax and live beyond the days and the wrinkles they bring. You just need to relax and live. And everything will be beautiful.

A few years ago, British sociologists conducted a funny survey. They asked men and women about the components of female beauty.. You will be surprised, but 70% of men said that the main quality they pay attention to in a woman is self-confidence.. It is she who makes a woman desirable. Self-confidence, you see, comes with age.. When you forget about the complexes, stop pressing acne, crying in the bathroom to red eyes. When you accept yourself for who you are. And you are finally comfortable with yourself.

Go ahead. 47% of men said that a sense of style is important to them in a woman. That's what they pay attention to in the first place.. And when we have style? When we realize that this sweater makes us bigger, these trousers are absolutely not suitable here, and it is best to put on this soft-colored shawl on top, it will emphasize our blush? That's right, we have a sense of style with age.. You can now argue with me, of course. But then quietly, hiding from everyone, look at your old photos. Well how? Stylish, really.? And this funny top under this ridiculous skirt is probably very cute.. Nevermind.

I love my wrinkles around my eyes. They remind me how much I laughed in my life.

We get more beautiful with age. And this is not surprising. Don't hide your school photos, we'll dig into them. Personally, I can't look at them without laughing.. God, is it me? What happened with me? I look like a wet puppy. But not on the current one for sure. Let's analyze further, chronologically. At university, I also looked a little strange. Who said this haircut suits me? Yeah she made my head look like a saucepan! Now I'm laughing. 'Cause today I'm confident.

“Age is just numbers,” my friend likes to repeat, congratulating me on my next birthday.. - Do not worry. It's just numbers." We both want. He is because he really doesn't care. He is a man, moreover, a few years younger than me.. I - because age, and the truth, is only numbers. Meaningless numbers. Today I can tell you this with confidence.

I love my wrinkles around my eyes. They remind me how many times in my life I laughed. These are from laughter for no reason at the Atlantic Ocean. These are from the joy that my work was accepted in Paris. These are from constant laughter with my husband, you can’t find a more fun person, I’m so happy that he is there. I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world! And I will never try to get rid of them with an anti-aging cream.. Because they are what make me beautiful. Because they are my life.

Now I know that the beauty of each of us blooms individually.. And it shows up at different ages.. But invariably after a few moments. And until you pass them all, you will not be beautiful in full.. In any case, always remember: everything is still ahead of you, every year you will be more beautiful and more beautiful, no matter what others or your beautician tell you..

Beauty comes after the birth of the first child.

A woman starts to shine from within. It is very difficult to explain, but she seemed to know something strong, unknown, a secret known only to her.. This radiance makes it irresistible. Such a woman is usually looked after. And if you have not given birth yet, then everything is ahead of you.. You still know it.

Beauty comes after great disappointment.

Surprised, but I thought about it for a long time. Women who have survived a major crisis and recovered from it become profound. After that, you won’t spend them on chaff. They won't giggle stupidly like schoolgirls.. They cease to be childish, which so often repels the men in us.. Teenagers-overgrown look stupid, agree. A woman with experience always looks mysterious. She wants to know.

Beauty comes when you meet your man.

“Oh, Anka, you are so beautiful today! You’re just glowing, ”a classmate shouted after me when I ran on a date with a guy with whom I was madly in love. And he loved me. This feeling gave me an inner glow. I became more confident. I realized that I like the one who everyone pays attention to. I was happy. It means beautiful. The right men help us get out of the cocoon. With a loving person, we always become an order of magnitude more beautiful..

Beauty comes when we begin to love ourselves.

It is to love. Do not indulge, do not lisp, do not justify, do not rush with yourself. Namely, to love, which is very difficult. Young girls can't fully comprehend this.. This skill comes with age.. Perhaps this is the most important knowledge in the life of a woman.. He definitely needs to learn. Listen to yourself, highlight your strengths and not stick out your weaknesses. If you are sad, do not run to cry to your friend, but stay at home. If you're happy with yourself, don't brag around every corner. The power of self-love is very individual. But we desperately need it.. We will never be happy without her..

Beauty comes when a woman becomes calm.

Look at the photos of Monica Bellucci. How calm and self-sufficient she is. She wants to admire and admire. Beauty does not like tantrums. It's good that we experience them in our youth. The good news is that as we get older, we can finally control our emotions.. Calm, balanced women always look more advantageous.. They always draw attention.

Age is just a number that means nothing.

Ask me if I would like to go back ten years? Yes, never in my life! I finally learned to get along with myself. I learned to love myself. And it gave me confidence. I love myself today. With my past, which may have begun to show slightly on my face in the form of wrinkles.

With my experience, which, perhaps, it is time to paint over in your hair. But I never give up on it.. Because it gave me the strength to be myself, to be who I am.. Be self-sufficient.

And by the way, quite recently I was suddenly offered to shoot for a photo project. I am writing these lines and running to the shooting, yes:) Love yourself, you are beautiful! Love yourself every year more and more. Be calm and happy. And remember, age is just a number that means nothing at all..
