Floortje Dessing has a different life than ten years ago, she says in Friday AD. The fifty-year-old presenter sees both advantages and disadvantages in aging.
“At forty you still have the feeling that you are not yet halfway”, says Dessing. “Fifty is over the hill. In any case, you have to physically pull it harder. I do too. I exercise a lot. But it also creates a different feeling.”
Dessing explains that life is a whirlpool when you are young. “You want to try everything, everywhere, everything is new. When you are 50, you start to consider more. You take a step back and look at the life swirling, as far as you can now. It’s like you a little less participates in it. “
The presenter explains how that entails a mixed feeling. “It is nice to be away from the issues of the day. On the other hand, you also become sentimental because of the things that have happened.”
Dessing celebrated her fiftieth birthday in August with a limited group, due to the corona measures. She acknowledges that was difficult. “There is no one on earth who says ‘I couldn’t care less’. It was also quite strange to celebrate that in a pandemic. We were with a small group on Terschelling. Mudflat walking, a walk on the beach, a terrace. distance. Very special. But I am going to throw a huge stamp party sometimes. “
Dessing can be seen from Friday evening in a new season of Floortje stays here. The first episode appears at BNNVARA at 9.30 pm.
