I have never felt more confident in myself, more clear on who I am as a woman. But I am constantly thinking about my own health and making sure that I'm eating right and getting exercise and watching the aches and pains. I want to be this really fly 80-90-year old.

Ache often refers to pain in a specific part of the body rather than general pain.

Body Part Specific

'Ache' implies a lasting pain, less severe than sharp or sudden pain.

Persistent Pain

Ache is less intense than agony or torment but can be constant.

Less Intense

Ache can describe a deep emotional longing or sadness, not just physical pain.

Emotional Ache

An ache for something can be a positive motivator rather than just a painful feeling.

Not Always Negative

Aching often happens after physical activity or overuse of a body part.

Physical Activity

Ache as a verb suggests pain that develops over time, not suddenly.

Gradual Onset

Ache to do something expresses a strong wish and anticipation for a future event.

Anticipation
