Writer and broadcaster Kwak Jeong-eun shared her candid thoughts on growing older.

On the 14th, a video titled "I'm living this age for the first time, so honestly it's quite hard" was released on the YouTube channel 'Kwak Jeong-eun's Private Life'.

That day, Kwak Jeong-eun said, "How are you all feeling these days? Are you okay?" and added, "I find myself saying 'not like before' very often. Honestly, I used to dislike that phrase because it sounded too much like something an older person would say."

She continued, "Now that I'm in my late forties, this isn't just a joke—it's the real reality itself. If I don't sleep even a little, I feel exhausted the next day and can't keep appointments. My menstrual cycle is no longer like it used to be, and when I swell up, it feels as though I might die. The issue of presbyopia has been with me for quite some time."

She then remarked, "I have a gluten allergy, but sometimes I eat something anyway if I feel one meal won't hurt. It seems like my body's season has changed—from summer to autumn—but the thought that I still need to be in summer has made things harder for me. I think I was pushing myself too hard to live as if the weather were still like it used to be, even though my body had already entered a different season."

Kwak Jeong-eun added, "Growing older isn't about losing something; perhaps it's about learning new ways to use my body and mind. I'm trying to make small adjustments. If I'm tired, I'll try to meet fewer people, and if something is uncomfortable, I won't endure it for long. It's not a retreat—it's about adjusting and adapting."
