Lisa Ray is another name of bravery. She is one of those people who holds an iron will and determination for herself. In 2009, when she was diagnosed with blood cancer, everyone was shocked.
But, she put up a brave fight and after one year she was declared a cancer survivor. She emerged victorious in the face of that dire difficulty and struggle.
Recently, she posted a selfie and a fan was quick enough to comment that she is looking too old. Here is the selfie that she posted from her Toronto vacation.
A fan commented ‘Too old’. Lisa Ray then took to twitter to express her own thoughts about surviving cancer and making all the way in life, struggling and winning. Here is what she wrote.
You’re right. I’m old. Older than time, my boy. Perhaps you will never grow up in your mind but your body will and it’s a blessing to be wise, a cancer survivor and living my best life at 46. Unshakeably secure and happy in my spirit and body. Hope you can experience that one day https://t.co/cfwuw9yQs1

To which, Lisa was kind enough to accept and also explained how society speaks through us.
Honestly not hurt, but adding ‘too’ to ‘old’ is a symptom of society’s unrealistic expectations for women. Imp. to embrace age. This dialogue is good to highlight each’s state of mind. When I was young, I was different and craved guidance towards a wider, kinder perspective 🙏🏽 https://t.co/y7dBH368h8

Thank you for your tweet. And I believe people are not reacting to you personally, but society’s dysfunctional attitude towards women and age in public spheres, speaking through you. Wish you well. https://t.co/y7dBH368h8
