We can change that ...

“Do you know what the hardest part of growing old is?”
“What?”
“You stop being seen. When you're young, you're someone - fun, bold, full of spark. But as the years pass, you become just ... background. 'That old man in the jacket.' 'That woman with the beret.' Like you're not really there anymore.”
“Well, I noticed you the moment you walked in.”
This moment comes from a British series - but the truth hits everywhere.
Aging, for many, isn’t just about aching joints or gray hair. It’s about being forgotten. The world keeps rushing by, and suddenly no one asks your name, your story, your dreams. You're no longer “someone” - you’re just “old.”
Friends pass. Family gets busy. Strangers stop seeing you.
But we can change that.
Don’t let the people who built this world feel like they’ve disappeared from it.
Ask them about their life. Their memories. What made them laugh.
Sometimes all it takes is a genuine “How are you?” to remind someone they still matter.
Let’s make them feel seen.
