Eva Mendes turned 50 in March 2024, and when she sat down with PEOPLE in May, her perspective on aging was refreshingly honest and grounded. She used to think 50 was “her mom’s age” and never imagined having kids or settling down — until a certain man changed her mind. Now she’s grateful for it. She laughed about people reacting to her being pregnant at 40 the same way they react to turning 50: “It’s more of a big deal for other people than it is for yourself.” What really stood out was how she now sees beauty in imperfections and broken things. Her best takeaway from entering this decade? “I’m still here. I get to watch my mom grow older, watch myself grow older, and watch my kids grow up.” She added with a smile: “We all just die in the end, so who cares?” while admitting she still catches herself looking at her hands thinking “whose hand is that?” It’s such a warm, joyful take on getting older. What’s one thing you’ve started appreciating more as you get older?

😂😂😂 I’ve been looking for this video since last night so I can post it. I believe in it so so much😍 Boys make everything better❤️ I’m sorry bafazi

Thoughts please

the older i get the more i realise happiness is quiet mornings, a clean space, early nights, a safe home and people who don’t drain my energy.

I saw someone say, “My hyper-independence comes from how little urgency people show when it comes to me,” and honestly, that resonated deeply.

Anytime I’m about to try something new and fear starts to creep in, …I think of this interview Oprah gave in 1986. It always reminds me that growth so often waits for us on the other side of fear.

I don’t have a permanent handwriting style. It depends on my mood, the pen I’m using, and the situation.

This relationship actually makes a lot of sense. They’re both in their 40s They’re both wealthy They’re both wildly famous They both (still) have thriving careers They’re both bad bitches I’m here for it.

7de Laan 🤣😂

I still don’t get the concept behind life. What exactly are we here for?

Vacations are nice but have you ever stayed home in pajamas and avoided people for an entire week.🥹

@PinketteXO I treat saving like a bill, not a leftover. Automate it first, live on what remains.

Dear ladies never forget that: The same world that shames me for being a single mother also shames you for not being a mother and shames another woman for having too many children..lt shames one woman for having a child at the age of 19 because she's too young but also shames another for having at 36 because she's too old..lt shames a woman who marries young as well as the one who marries old..It shames women who don't have beautiful bodies and shames those who go under the knife to get the bodies. This world shames all women, not a single one of us is spared, not a single one. So love and make yourselves happy.

people who knew me as a walk over bare ke chenchile and thats true, im a bit firmer and i dont take disrespect like i used to, I realized you can leave relationships and start new ones as life goes on✅and My boundaries are Higher…🧍🏻‍♂️ke rata dilo thata thata…

Don't be afraid to spend money on concert tickets and travel. Be afraid of growing old and realizing the only place you ever went was work.

@BoneBuzae Couldn’t agree more… I went there after my friend sold it to me like it’s the best thing to ever happen to humanity and I was like hell nah, and it’s no better than other Chinese shops in terms of quality honestly…and the smell

Besco is not cheap. That’s when you realize there is a difference between a Chinese store and a store owned by Chinese 😅

As a single mother I am saying this: Men have a sense of balance when it comes to providing routine and discipline but also support, encouragement, and show unwavering dedication to their children. Men also tend to lead with more logic than emotion while still allowing room for their children to feel and express emotions. They also tend to be able to separate their trauma they’re healing from their responsibilities as a father. A lot of women (not all but a large majority) don’t know how to balance all of these things on top of not allowing their emotions get the better of them. A lot of women also are jealous of their children, harbor spoken or unspoken resentment toward them for a broken home, or refuse to break the cycle of trauma in some capacity. Hell, some women with a partner struggle with this as well but it can become more apparent when single.

no one talks about how annoying it is when people are intimidated by you all the time and you’re not even doing anything.
