I accept the "aunty" label

Accepting age is very important. Being involved in the work and relationships that broke eventually, I did not realise that life slipped away.
When recently people started calling me aunty, I realised that I am no longer someone's baby, I am aunty now.
I didn't even realise until recently I reflected upon why I got offended on being called aunty.
Acceptance is the key here. That life of being loved, taken care of, admired and cuddled by your person is gone.
I could not get married or have a family. Life slipped away.
Have to gracefully accept the age and phase. Now next phase is all about mentoring and guiding. I will no longer be treated like a kid by anyone. I liked that feeling though. But, leave that now. Enter the next phase.
