I just wonder if Mariella Frostrup will regret her decision to get involved in Channel 4’s programme, the campaign for real sex season, which shows brave (or sad, mad or bad) volunteers having sex. She campaigns for proper programmes about relationships and has done so for years.
I really admire her as a role model in the media. Although a veteran on both TV and radio, she is still willing, in an article in the Evening Standard, to speak out on ageism and is on a mission to draw attention to the fact that people are ashamed to talk about age. She is almost 51 by the way! In the article, she goes on to say that ‘there are not enough normal women past a certain age, treated as normal rather than ‘relics’ in the media’. In her honesty, she sees that there is a bad attitude towards sex, age and women. Yeah, I wouldn’t disagree, would you?
Back to you, is there something in the way you are living your life that you’ll regret when you’re older or even now?
And if there is, what can you change in your life so that you will have no sorrow about that particular regret?
In my opinion, there will always be regrets you can hold on to as there will have been tantalising choices you could have made in life. When you look back, you can see that there will also have been literally many avenues you could have travelled down.
What’s that song – ‘Regrets, I’ve had a few……’ This could be the ‘What was I doing then?’ or ‘I know what was behind that decision and I stand by it’. You’ll have found your own way of dealing with your regrets.
Any comments? xx
