We will borrow terms from a philosophy of living that encourages us instead to view late life as an opportunity to defy linearity and prevailing conformity in order to lay the foundations for a second life. Thus, aging does not merely invite us to tend to our frailties. It is also a time to choose to express our subjectivity in a different way, with authenticity.
