Miss Night and Day: Embracing Aging and Self-Discovery – A Reflection on the K-Drama and Personal Growth

I can’t stream, so if you’d like a yap session. Today’s topic is Miss Night and day. It is a K drama where this lady turns into a 50 year old woman during the day and turns back to her younger self in her 20s at night. Even when she’s at her younger age of 28, will still treat her very differently. 18 19 year olds call her a hag. People at the club think she’s very young, but the interviewers think that she’s almost 30, so she might as well be 30 and is way too old for the position. The beginning the main character also feels like she is way too old. With all her studies over, she hasn’t been able to find a job in seven years and feels like it’s way too late. Everyone is so far ahead of her and she’s got nothing. At her big age. I think her age is a weight to her. It holds her back. During the day, she becomes a much older woman and the differences are already telling. She’s much more bolder because she’s older. She feels like she can say what she wants to say, but she also really, really misses her youth. She says she didn’t know what she was missing until her youth was gone. The youth in question being the age where she thought she had nothing left. Just to be clear, they are all one entity. The older self does not have her Own older mind or older memories? No, she is still the younger self, just physically looks like the older self. Until the curse is about to be broken. The older self appears to her as another being in the room. They get a moment to talk, and the younger self tells her that she’s actually scared of the older self leaving. All of the good things happened. She was able to get a job. He’s able to speak freely, make her life start turning again. That without her, would her life continue to spin or would it be at a standstill? The older herself tells her all of it is within her. I could relate to that a lot with my conversations with my mom. She’s a very wise woman. When she was in her 20s, she had intense anxiety, so much that she would faint. But now she is such a confident woman. She smiles and she says hi to everyone. Master, how do you do that? And she told me that her confidence came with age. So I thought, I’ll start living when I’m older. Then that’s when my life starts. And after watching that drama, I realized that’s not true. I have that ability to do it right now. It also reminded me of a viewer that was scared of turning 20 that year, cause that would mean they were old. The way we talk about our 20s and the way we feel like everything has to Happen all within the 20 years old. Otherwise you are a failure. I know it’s a shocker, but that’s harmful. You have your entire life to continue to learn and grow and become the person that you want to be. There’s no time limit to that. If we believe the things that people are saying to us that oh, you’re too old to game or you’re too old to be a singer or whatever else, and we are dragging ourselves down the age we’re at right now. Being able to stay within the present is a really hard thing to do cause we’re always looking at the future or in the past. Yeah, let me know your thoughts.
