For years, my mother, the talented musician, photographer, and video editor, has been hassling me to make a music video for one of my songs. I think she has actually been bugging me to do it for about five years. Yes, that long. And I kept saying no without regret.
I'm shy in front of the camera. And the fact that I would have to "act" in front of my mother made me even more reluctant to do it. How would you feel about acting all rock-starish and sexy in front of your mother? ... Haha. Exactly.
But this year I turned 32. This year the lines around my eyes have started to become more noticeable. This year, I've noticed that it takes more effort to keep the weight off. I'm aging. And although I don't have a fear of getting old, I did sorta freak out about it not being long until the flesh on my body began to head south. I need to capture myself while I've still "got it", I thought. :-)
So I bit the bullet. I shut out my fears and became a rock star for a day. In front of my mother. And you know what? Once I let go, it wasn't bad at all. My mother made me feel beautiful, and yeah, even a little bit famous. I'm so glad I did it!
Here's the result:
How do you feel about 'growing old', does it scare you, or have you embraced it?
